Sole proprietorship (CEIDG, Poland) · NIP 8442338935

Limited availability — open to conversations

Senior Python Developer — backend systems, APIs, and software that ships.

I build backend systems and APIs in Python. I occasionally work on AI tools and frontend — when the project needs it.

PythonBackend SystemsREST APIsFastAPIPostgreSQLAutomationAI / ML

Working context

Built in environments where software has to stay reliable.

The strongest signal I can offer right now is not a polished slogan but the kind of teams and systems I've worked in: research analytics, fintech, and production backend delivery.

Production domains

Energy, fintech, IT services

Experience across data-heavy and high-stakes environments where correctness, uptime, and maintainability matter.

Ownership style

Architecture to deploy

Comfortable taking work from ambiguous problem definition through implementation, cleanup, and production rollout.

Engagement model

Remote-ready B2B in Europe

Clear communication, registered sole proprietorship in Poland, and a working style that fits remote product and engineering teams.

Recent team projects

Solo Full-Stack Engineer & Product Owner

InvestTracker — Personal Wealth & Portfolio Analytics Platform

Problem: No existing tool could consolidate Polish investment accounts (IKE, IKZE, OIPE, Finax) together with foreign stocks, ETFs, crypto, and precious metals into a single accurate dashboard.

Solution: Built a full-stack portfolio tracker from scratch — FastAPI backend with FIFO cost basis calculations, three market data providers, multi-currency reconciliation, and a React dashboard that shows everything in one place.

Live production app at investtracker.eu. The only tool that correctly consolidates Finax transactions with Polish tax-advantaged accounts and international holdings into one accurate P&L view. Active development continues — potential SaaS release planned.

DeMāre Studio — SEO-first Interior Design Website (Astro)

Problem: The studio needed a premium website that converts local traffic in Tricity, supports bilingual content, and performs well in SEO, AI discovery, and trust signals.

Solution: I delivered a complete Astro website with bilingual UX, strong technical SEO, GEO/AEO readiness, high mobile performance, and a measurable audit-driven optimization process.

Production launch at demarestudio.com with strong scores: SEO 97/100, Speed 93/100, AI Ready 100/100, Indexing 100/100, GDPR 100/100 (Dr Strona snapshot: 2026-04-10).

What I work on

The areas where I can take ownership from first line to production.

🐍

Python Backend Engineering

Production-grade Python services built to last: FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, async patterns, clean architecture, tests, CI/CD. Opinionated about maintainability.

🔌

APIs & System Design

REST API design, async data pipelines, PostgreSQL, Redis, multi-tenant systems. Comfortable reasoning about scalability and making architectural tradeoffs explicit.

⚙️

Automation & Integrations

Python workflows that replace manual, error-prone processes. Celery, scheduled jobs, API integrations, data pipelines. Built to run unattended with clear observability.

🤖

AI / ML

RAG pipelines, LLM agents, document intelligence, structured extraction. Practical tooling built as part of a larger system — not standalone demos.

🖥️

Frontend Delivery

When the product requires it: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind. Not a designer, but builds interfaces that work well and don't embarrass the backend.

About

I'm a Python developer with a background in backend engineering, financial systems, and automation. I've worked in energy market intelligence, fintech, and IT services — mostly building the kind of software that handles real data and real edge cases.

My primary tool is Python. I occasionally work with AI/ML and React when the project calls for it, but backend systems and APIs are where I spend most of my time.

Practical Lessons from Building LLM Apps in Production

LLM demos are easy. Production LLM apps are not. Here's what I've learned shipping several of them — the problems nobody talks about in tutorials.

What Makes Automation Projects Actually Valuable for Businesses

Most automation projects fail not because of technical problems, but because they solve the wrong thing. Here's how to identify what's actually worth automating.

Short version

Common questions before reaching out

Useful context for people who want to quickly judge whether I'm a good fit for the work.

Latest content update: 15 November 2024

What do you specialize in?

Primarily Python backend work, APIs, automation, and data-heavy systems. I also work on AI tooling or frontend when it genuinely helps the product.

What kind of projects are the best fit?

The strongest fit is work that needs a backend designed or cleaned up, APIs shipped, processes automated, or a production system made more maintainable.

Do you work remotely and on a B2B basis?

Yes. I work remote-first and operate as a registered sole proprietorship in Poland, so B2B collaboration is a natural setup.

Do you only take large engagements?

No. I can step into a larger delivery or a narrower piece of work such as a technical audit, backend stabilization, API design, or a targeted automation project.

Need a senior Python developer for backend, API, or automation work?

Limited availability for new work — happy to talk about future collaboration.
