Solo Software Engineer · AI-First

Systems that take a team.
Built by one engineer.

City-scale ride-hailing, AI product-intelligence platforms, OSINT microservices — I design, build, and ship them end-to-end. One person, AI-first, in weeks not years.

I build what teams can't — solo, AI-first, in weeks not years.

Ride-Hailing / AI & ML Systems / Fintech & Ledgers / Distributed Infrastructure / OSINT

Core Engineering Capabilities

I solve hard computer-science problems for businesses that cannot afford downtime — real-time systems, applied AI, fintech-grade correctness, and the distributed infrastructure to run it all. No generic templates, no team to coordinate; one engineer, pure technical execution, end to end.

High-Concurrency Infrastructure

Real-time geospatial systems with sub-second latency — live driver/rider matching over Redis GEO, demand-aware surge pricing, and WebSocket fleets streaming location to thousands of concurrent clients. The backbone of a production ride-hailing platform serving an entire city without dropping a beat.

AI Systems Integration

Production AI/ML pipelines wired into real products — demand forecasting with calibrated confidence intervals, winner-scoring engines, multi-tier vector memory and RAG, and multi-provider LLM routing with hallucination suppression.

Distributed-Systems Architecture

Event-driven, multi-service platforms engineered for correctness under load — HA Postgres (Patroni · HAProxy · etcd), Redis Sentinel quorums, queue-backed workers, idempotent writes, and fail-closed controls.

Security & Intelligence

Intelligence-grade systems and defense-in-depth. SENTINEL fuses OSINT and multi-source feeds through entity resolution and anomaly & threat detection into one real-time operating picture — the engine behind a live law-enforcement command center. Under every build: tamper-evident audit logs (SHA-256 hash chains + Ed25519 checkpoints), encryption at rest, OTP/JWT auth with rotation, and regulatory compliance (ANAF e-Factura, GDPR) baked in.

Fintech, Payments & Ledgers

Double-entry immutable ledgers with serializable posting, idempotency keys, and reconciliation — multi-gateway card payments (Stripe, NETOPIA), wallets and cashback, plus risk controls and a kill-switch for fail-closed money movement.

Monolith → Microservices

Zero-downtime decomposition of legacy monoliths into resilient, independently deployable services — strangler-fig rollouts, dedicated payments and fraud boundaries, and contract-first APIs so teams ship without stepping on each other.

Full-Stack & Mobile Delivery

End-to-end delivery — Next.js / React web, React Native (Expo) apps, and self-hosted infrastructure on Docker, Kubernetes, and Hetzner with CI/CD, monitoring, and blue-green deploys. One team from architecture to App Store.

FAR

Ride-Hailing

A production ride-hailing platform for the city of Constanța — real-time geospatial matching, in-app booking and payments, driver earnings, e-invoicing compliance, and a tamper-evident audit log. NestJS, PostGIS, Redis GEO, Socket.IO, with native React Native apps. ~360K lines of TypeScript — built solo.
