  • Architect and develop a scalable AI SaaS ecosystem using Django and React (Vite), implementing real-time bidirectional communication via WebSockets (Django Channels) and Redis.
  • Lead the transition of the AI architecture: utilized external APIs (OpenAI/Groq) exclusively for rapid prototyping and concept validation, migrating to a Self-hosted Proprietary LLM in production to ensure data sovereignty and cost reduction.
  • Build high-performance asynchronous pipelines using Celery to orchestrate model fine-tuning, PDF/Docx generation, and speech-to-text processing without blocking the main thread.
  • Designed a robust billing infrastructure integrating Stripe to manage complex subscriptions, automated invoicing, and plan upgrade/downgrade flows.
  • Developed advanced multi-tenancy features, including Organization management, custom Rate Limiting middleware, and analytics dashboards.
  • Orchestrate the production environment using Docker Compose and Nginx as a reverse proxy, focusing on security and performance.
