Experience
Uniqit Group LLC · Backend Python Developer / AI Engineer Aug 2024 - July 2026 · 1 yr 11 mos
Developed and maintained microservices for a SaaS platform automating advertising campaigns across Facebook,
Google, and TikTok. Stack: Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, AWS, LangChain, RAG, Pinecone.
Responsibilities:
• Owned and developed the billing service: integrated Stripe and LiqPay payment systems, implemented payment
webhook processing, and managed client balance lifecycle including top-ups, spend deductions, and transaction
history.
• Extended the authorization service: designed and implemented new roles and access levels to support complex
multi-tenant client workflows.
• Maintained and optimized the background task service responsible for automated campaign rule execution across
all clients.
• Participated as a team member in building an AI-powered client assistant that helps clients with advertising
campaign questions and documentation lookup; implemented a RAG pipeline using LangChain with Pinecone as
the vector store for semantic search over the knowledge base.
Achievements:
• Implemented a risk-based protection system for financial operations, including fraud detection for top-ups and
anomaly detection for ad spend, with automated decision-making (approve / block / pause), reducing fraudulent
activity and preventing overspending.
• Refactored the background task service from sequential to parallel execution using Celery task groups, reducing
one automation cycle from 10+ minutes to 2–4 minutes.
• Contributed to the LangChain + Pinecone RAG integration for the AI client assistant, enabling clients to get
accurate answers about campaigns and documentation without contacting support.
• Extended the authorization service: designed and implemented new roles and access levels to support complex
multi-tenant client workflows.

DigitalBrother · Backend Python Developer May 2023 - Aug 2024 · 1 yr 2 mos
Developed an internal CRM system for a client company, focusing on performance, scalability, and reliability.
Responsibilities:
• Designed and implemented RESTful APIs using Django REST Framework.
• Optimized PostgreSQL queries: introduced composite indexes, and improved query execution plans.
• Implemented asynchronous background processing with Celery (notifications, user activity aggregation, periodic
tasks).
• Wrote unit and integration tests (pytest + factory_boy), achieving ~70% coverage for critical modules.
 • Containerized the application using Docker and contributed to CI/CD pipeline setup in GitLab.
Achievements:
• Reduced average API response time by ~30% through query optimization and caching strategies.
• Improved system stability by offloading heavy operations to background workers, decreasing request timeouts.
• Increased code reliability and reduced regression issues via automated testing.
• Contributed to faster deployment cycles by helping establish CI/CD processes.
