Async API Systems

High-throughput REST APIs with non-blocking pipelines, JWT/RBAC auth, and production-grade error handling.

Real-Time Data Pipelines

Telemetry ingestion, anomaly detection, and automated alerting at near-zero latency.

LLM & AI Integration

Embedding Claude and Gemini into backend workflows that automate real business decisions.

Selected Work

Projects that ship.

PROJECT 01

VehicleWatch

Problem

Fleet operators had no early warning system for mechanical faults.

Solution

Real-time API ingesting sensor data every 2 seconds using Isolation Forest + LOF ensemble. AI-generated plain-English diagnostics per alert.

PROJECT 02

Veriloom

Problem

CV screening rewards formatting over actual capability.

Solution

Two-sided hiring platform where companies post task-based roles and candidates submit real work. Skills-first evaluation replaces CV screening entirely.
