Senior Backend Engineer & Systems Consultant
I engineer resilient backend systems, optimize high-throughput database operations, and modernize legacy codebases. Leveraging over a decade of experience, I help companies scale their Laravel/PHP applications, configure robust message queues (RabbitMQ, Redis), and ensure infrastructure reliability.
Available for select B2B engineering contracts in US & EU timezones.
My Technical Toolbox
I design robust architectural solutions with modern PHP/Laravel, stabilize relational databases (MySQL/PostgreSQL) under heavy load, and implement fault-tolerant background processing using Redis and RabbitMQ. My background in hardware (KVM/IPAM) and containerized deployments (Docker) allows me to bridge the gap between application code and reliable infrastructure.

SEAP — Legal Discovery & Communication Auditing Pipeline
Architecture & Development (Data Engineering / LegalTech)
An automated compliance and evidence management tool built to parse, audit, and structure multi-year communication archives into standardized legal documentation. Designed to act as an offline, containerized e-Discovery engine that evaluates textual data against behavioral rulesets (e.g., BIFF protocols) and generates verifiable private documents for legal counsel.
Key Architectural Highlights:
- Communication & Compliance Auditing: Implemented a rule-based parsing engine to evaluate messaging transcripts against strict communication frameworks, tagging timeline events and identifying compliance anomalies.
- Data Aggregation & Timeline Pipeline: Developed a robust CLI (Typer) and UI (Streamlit) to ingest disparate JSON/YAML data sources, calculate exact schedule discrepancies using python-dateutil, and maintain immutable logs.
- Automated Document Generation: Engineered a reporting module utilizing fpdf2 and Markdown to dynamically generate court-ready documents (PDFs) with integrated image evidence processing (Pillow).
- Isolated & Reproducible Environment: Fully containerized the data-processing architecture using Docker Compose, ensuring zero data leakage, strict privacy, and consistent execution.
