Full-Stack AI Engineer | Backend & API Architect

Lahore, Pakistan5+ years experienceBSSE, Virtual University of Pakistan

Full-Stack AI Engineer with over 5 years of experience building high-throughput backends in Python (FastAPI, Django) and TypeScript (Node.js, Nest.js). Specialises in asynchronous architecture — WebSocket streaming under 3 seconds, Redis/Celery job queues for concurrent workloads, webhook gateways, and OAuth 2.0 integration — with the security practice to match: hardened REST middleware, RBAC, and multi-tenant data isolation.
