For clients
Production engineering, scoped to your problem.
The same standards I hold as a full-time backend engineer — clean contracts, failure handling, zero-downtime deploys — available as fixed-scope projects or an ongoing retainer. Remote, any timezone.
Offerings
What I build
Backend & API development
REST APIs, database design, auth (OAuth2/JWT), background jobs, and deployment. Django, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker — the stack I've shipped 7 production services and 60+ endpoints on.
AI & LLM features
RAG pipelines, semantic search (pgvector + embeddings), LLM integrations with fallbacks and cost control, prompt-management workflows, and self-hosted inference (vLLM/LiteLLM). AI as an engineering problem, not a demo.
ERP / HRMS customization
ERPNext/Frappe custom doctypes and internal tooling, Horilla HRMS extension and migration, biometric attendance integration (ZKTeco), and reporting endpoints — done for a ~200-employee workforce.
Automation & integrations
n8n workflows, third-party API integrations, data pipelines, web scraping with structured fallbacks, and healthcare HL7 integration tooling.
Engagement
Two ways to work together
Fixed-scope project
A defined deliverable with milestones and a fixed price. Best for a new API, an AI feature, an ERP customization, or an integration with a clear finish line.
- Scoped proposal before any commitment
- Weekly demos; code in your repo from day one
- Docs, tests, and deployment included
Retainer / contract
Ongoing part-time or hourly engineering. Best when you need a backend owned, systems kept healthy, and features shipped every week without a full-time hire.
- Fixed weekly hours, any timezone overlap
- Async-first: updates in your Slack/tracker
- Cancel monthly — no lock-in
Process
How it works
-
01
Brief
You send a short description of the problem, current stack, and timeline.
-
02
Scope
I reply with questions, then a fixed scope or retainer proposal — deliverables, milestones, price.
-
03
Build
Weekly demos and async updates. Code in your repo from day one; CI, tests, and docs included.
-
04
Hand-off
Deployment, documentation, and a hand-off call. Optional retainer for maintenance.
