Python Backend Architect & AI Engineer
$25–$37/hr
I'm a Python backend architect and AI engineer with 8+ years of shipping production software for founders, CTOs, IT managers and agencies, from SMB MVPs to enterprise platforms.
I design the architecture first (data model, boundaries, failure modes), then build with Django, FastAPI or Flask on the backend, React and Next.js on the front, and an AI layer that actually earns its place: RAG, LLM features, fine-tuning and multi-step AI agents with Claude and OpenAI.
Whether you need to build something new, scale what already works, or rescue a stalled project, you get senior ownership, clear communication and up to 6 hours of overlap with US time zones.
