Backend Developer · AI/ML Developer

I started coding at sixteen because I wanted to see if I could make something real. That curiosity never really left, it just grew up with me. These days I work on backends and AI features in production: systems people depend on, problems worth sitting with, and the quiet satisfaction when something finally clicks.

Same itch that started at 16, make something work. Now the systems are bigger.

Backends in the field, AI features that ship. Still happiest when something real goes live.

  • Go
  • Python
  • MySQL
  • vLLM
  • Qdrant
  • SSE
  • XGBoost
  • Docker

Senior backend and AI across six production systems — IoT field monitoring, high-traffic messaging, multilingual LLM support (project lead), network traffic analytics, fraud ML, telecom compliance, and fiber platform performance.

Project 01

IoT Cabinet Monitoring Platform

Built a monitoring platform for a large network of field cabinets — role-based access, region-scoped data, real-time status, and multi-type alarm handling for field operations.

  • Backend
  • Real-time
  • IoT
  • Built role-based authentication with secure session management, region-scoped data access, and real-time online/offline cabinet status tracking with dynamic filtering and pagination.
  • Built a multi-type alarm management system (voltage, temperature, water leakage, smoke, battery, rectifier faults) with tiered notification rules and live sensor-driven triggering.
  • Implemented real-time alarm notification architecture delivering critical metadata to the right region operators while enforcing cross-region data isolation.
  • Parallelized the core data-ingestion pipeline to reduce update latency across the field-device network.
  • Engineered sync server infrastructure and search backends for reliable IoT-to-application data synchronization.

Project 02

Messaging Platform — Backend

Contributed to the backend of a high-traffic consumer messaging application — core messaging features, security hardening, and search at scale.

  • Go
  • MySQL
  • Real-time
  • Implemented server-side logic for message forwarding with attachment preservation, emoji reaction syncing, thread pinning, and self-destructing messages with server-side expiration and cleanup.
  • Built secure SMS OTP verification, phone registration flows, and user-blocking controls; integrated a third-party AI content-moderation API for real-time threat detection.
  • Improved backend stability and security through concurrency debugging, memory-safety hardening, and proactive security audits across the Go backend.
  • Led backend refactoring across multiple modules, fixed critical identifier and counter bugs, and added standardized system documentation.
  • Improved message delivery reliability through queue and worker-pool optimizations, reducing message processing bottlenecks.
  • Deployed ElasticSearch to power a cross-channel message and conversation search-indexing service.

Project 03

AI Customer Support Assistant (Project Lead)

Led end-to-end delivery of a multilingual AI customer support chatbot for a telecom production platform — from model selection and RAG design through production deployment.

  • Go
  • vLLM
  • Qdrant
  • MySQL
  • SSE
  • Deployed and tuned a vLLM inference server (AWQ quantization) on GPU infrastructure, configuring memory and context limits for multi-user stability.
  • Configured containerized Qdrant deployments to drive semantic search and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
  • Built Go relay logic to retrieve conversation context from MySQL and stream tokenized responses via Server-Sent Events (SSE).
  • Built and schema-designed a structured FAQ/knowledge base dataset, designed master system prompts seeded with it, and tuned inference parameters per business tier — including resolving Kurdish character-set errors and model hallucinations.
  • Directed training and dataset curation for a multilingual intent classification model to auto-route queries across English, Arabic, and Kurdish dialects.
  • Ran a formal model benchmarking and selection process to choose the underlying language model.

Project 04

Network Traffic Analytics Platform

Built a VoIP traffic analytics module for real-time SIP, RTP, RTCP, and SRTP protocol analysis, categorizing traffic by Autonomous System, application, and content category.

  • VoIP
  • DPI
  • AI
  • Developed a call detection system leveraging network fingerprinting to analyze encrypted VoIP traffic patterns.
  • Trained an AI model for user-activity recognition from deep packet inspection data to support network-level traffic classification.

Project 05

Fraud & Risk Analytics System

Designed and built an end-to-end ML pipeline using XGBoost to classify and predict suspicious financial transactions across digital wallet products.

  • XGBoost
  • Feature Engineering
  • Performed advanced feature engineering over structured transaction datasets and engineered custom network-layer visualization tools to trace transaction flows layer by layer.

  • Go
  • Regulatory
  • Compliance
  • Developed metadata extraction and content-processing components supporting regulatory compliance requirements.
  • Built protocol classification and internal validation tooling to support quality assurance for compliance systems.
  • Implemented audio codec processing capabilities as part of a compliance data pipeline.

Project 07

Fiber Network Management Platform

Performance and analytics improvements on a fiber network management platform.

  • Go
  • Performance
  • Analytics
  • Optimized large-dataset export performance (memory handling and data formatting).
  • Resolved performance bottlenecks in a user-location/mobility analytics feature.
