Building backend systems, developer tools, and hardware integrations.
AI-powered career roadmap generator. Given a goal and skill level, produces a personalised learning path with resource recommendations and project modules. Tradeoff: chose Gemini Flash over GPT-4 to stay within free-tier rate limits while keeping latency under 3s; added mock mode so the frontend develops independently of the AI backend.

Link → GitHubRemote media player for Raspberry Pi deployments. Exposes a REST API for playlist management; a daemon handles multi-format playback, looping, and auto-restart via systemd. Checksum verification prevents corrupted media from reaching the player. Built at Conekt-Labs to cut on-site maintenance visits by 60%.

Link → GitHubCLI tool for bulk-downloading files and folders from Google Drive. Supports both OAuth2 (interactive) and service-account auth (headless automation). Written in Go for a single static binary with no runtime dependency - chosen over Python because distribution to non-devs ruled out managing a venv.

Link → GitHubProduction-grade RAG service covering the full pipeline: document ingestion, chunking, embedding generation, vector indexing, retrieval, and answer synthesis. Evaluation harness tracks relevance and faithfulness scores. Streaming responses reduce perceived latency; rate limiting and caching control API cost.

Link → GitHubTelegram bot for real-time group-chat translation. Async message handling keeps the bot responsive under concurrent load; multiple translation engines are wired in with intelligent fallback so a single provider outage does not break the service. Live on Telegram at @k_nexus_bot.

Designed and deployed an end-to-end RAG service - ingestion, chunking, embeddings, vector indexing, retrieval, and synthesis. Instrumented evaluation for relevance and faithfulness. Traded higher model quality for streaming and caching to hit latency and cost targets for a free-tier deployment.
AUG – NOV 2025 · REMOTE · Python · LangChain · FastAPI · OpenAI
Designed user file-management endpoints. Developed gRPC APIs in Go for microservices communication. Integrated backend with React frontend. Reduced deployment time 30–40% via CI/CD pipelines. Built a distributed Git service using Docker. Collaborated across a cross-functional team of 10.

The model choice matters less than you think. Caching matters more.
Started with one Redis key for everything. Ended up rearchitecting around per-row storage.
One static binary. No runtime. No venv. That's the whole pitch.
I build software across the stack - from REST APIs running on Raspberry Pis to RAG pipelines serving AI products to full-stack web applications. My engineering instinct is to ship working systems first, then instrument and optimise where the data shows it matters. I care about production concerns: latency budgets, cost ceilings, failure modes, and the operational burden a system places on its maintainers.
