AI Engineering Focus
Software is being rebuilt around intelligence. I'm not just watching — I'm actively moving into applied AI engineering: building products that use LLMs as a core layer, not a gimmick. My backend systems experience is the foundation; the AI layer is what I'm building on top.
Currently studying
LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic / Claude), RAG architecture, vector databases, and prompt engineering for production systems.
Building toward
AI-powered web products — smart search, document intelligence, chatbot backends — using my existing React + Node + Laravel foundation.
What I bring
Production engineering experience. Real-world API integration depth. 4+ years of shipping systems that don't break.
Target roles
AI Engineer · Full-Stack AI Developer · LLM Integration Engineer · Backend Engineer (AI products).
