Building
systems
that work.

Full-stack engineer with deep roots in backend architecture, cloud infrastructure, AI agents, and automation. Self-taught since 2022. Fluent in making things run.

Background

Self-taught from sorting algorithms to production AI systems.

I started writing code in 2022 out of curiosity — sorting algorithms, small scripts, understanding how things work under the hood. That curiosity compounded into full-stack web applications, then backend systems, then cloud infrastructure, then AI.

My approach has always been to build real things. Every skill I have came from a project I was trying to ship — not a tutorial, not a course. I figure out what I need to learn and I learn it.

Today I build web platforms, deploy them on cloud infrastructure, write automation scripts and bots, and integrate LLM-based reasoning into real applications. Sometimes for clients, sometimes for fun, always with the goal of making things that actually work.

2022
First lines of code. Data structures, algorithms, Python fundamentals.
2023-2024
Scripting and Backend fundamentals solidified.
2025–2026
Automation, LLM integration, RAG systems, AI agents, tool calling. Multi-platform production deployments.

Projects

Production platforms and engineering experiments — all available on GitHub.

Digistore Live

E-commerce platform where merchants set up a full storefront and customers reach them directly via WhatsApp. Full Django backend, REST API, storefront management, and real-time product-to-chat redirection.

Django Django REST Framework REST API WhatsApp integration
Kimitsu Live

Platform for deploying personal WhatsApp bots. Commands include YouTube media downloads, bypassing view-once media, and more — managed through a Django backend with payment integration. Bot runtime in Node.js.

Danapi Live

A curated collection of APIs I built and maintain. Powered by Django, backed by scraping pipelines and custom scripts. A live showcase of my data extraction and API design work.

Zeuse CLI Tool

Command-line tool that automates Django project deployment end-to-end — environment setup, Gunicorn, Nginx, SSL, DNS, and GitHub Actions CD pipelines. One command, running production.

Mika AI Agent

RAG-based AI agent that learns from repositories and documents. Feed it a codebase or a PDF and it reasons over it, answers questions, and builds persistent context. Built to understand, not just retrieve.
