Backend engineer working as an independent contractor (registered company, invoice in USD). I build and run production backends: Go and Node services, Postgres schema and query tuning, idempotent workers with outbox and advisory locks, Kubernetes deploys and CI/CD.
Recent work: migrated a platform to AWS EKS; built AI agent backends with tool calling, structured outputs and human approval gates; WhatsApp AI scheduling agent in Go (public code: github.com/aseno-up/backend).
Looking for contract or long-term contractor work, 20 to 40 hrs/week. I work best async: written updates, clear PRs, documentation.
