AI-first Product / Fullstack Engineer 

Full-time, remotely. B2B Contract

I’m an AI-first Product / Fullstack Engineer focused on turning business problems into working product features. I take ownership of the full lifecycle: clarify the need, shape the solution, build across the stack, ship, support in production and improve from feedback
 

AI is central to my development workflow. I use coding agents to explore codebases, evaluate approaches, implement changes, write tests and investigate bugs. I set the context and acceptance criteria, break work into verifiable steps, review the output and own the technical decisions.

I believe AI gives an engineer room to own more of the product. My goal is to shorten the path from an idea to something users can actually use, work through uncertainty and keep product context connected to implementation. I care about the outcome, the trade-offs and what it takes to keep the feature working
 

End-to-end ownership continues after launch: checking production behavior, investigating issues, improving performance, handling edge cases and iterating on user feedback. I want to stay accountable for the feature as it becomes part of the product
 

I’m also focused on bringing AI into products through LLM integrations, RAG and MCP-based tooling, with attention to reliability, cost and maintainability.

This approach builds on 4+ years across insurance, adtech, e-commerce and SaaS: commission calculation services, enterprise integrations, reporting dashboards, payment flows and modernization of existing systems. My foundation is backend engineering, complex business logic, data and asynchronous processing, with hands-on frontend and delivery experience

Core stack: PHP, Laravel, Symfony, Vue.js, React, JavaScript/TypeScript, PostgreSQL, MySQL, ClickHouse, Redis, RabbitMQ, Docker, CI/CD, PHPUnit and PHPStan.
