Aldo Akhanov

Senior Full-Stack & AI Automation Engineer

9+ years building scalable backend systems, intelligent automation pipelines, and data-intensive products. I sit at the intersection of software engineering, AI systems, and large-scale data mining — shipping real products fast.

What I build

Full-Stack Engineering

Python (Django, FastAPI, Flask) backends + React/Next.js frontends. Data-heavy dashboards, admin panels, REST APIs, Celery job queues, and bulk data processors at scale.

AI & LLM Systems

RAG pipelines with pgvector, tool-calling agent workflows, NL analytics interfaces, and hallucination-resistant prompting. I orchestrate AI around real business logic.

Data Mining & Automation

Scraped 200+ sites (5T+ records), bypassing anti-bot systems using Playwright & proxy rotation. Real-time ETL pipelines processing 1.5T+ live events. I get data that doesn't want to be gotten.

Infrastructure & DevOps

Docker, Kubernetes, AWS (Lambda, S3), GitHub Actions CI/CD, Nginx, PostgreSQL optimisation. Achieved 4× faster dashboards through containerisation and automated deployments.

Internal RAG System

Production-grade local AI — pgvector + FastAPI + Docker, accessible across a private LAN. Natural-language queries over structured business data with auditable, schema-grounded outputs.

Why engineers like me are rare

Ships fast without cutting corners

Rapidly learns new domains and delivers production-ready MVPs.
Systems thinking at scale

Connects backend architecture, AI reasoning, data pipelines, and product workflows into one coherent system.
Reverse-engineers anything

Exceptional at debugging complex, undocumented systems and finding root causes where others give up.
Bridges AI + traditional engineering

Doesn't just call the API — orchestrates LLMs around real business logic with auditable, structured outputs.
Product intuition

Turns vague ideas into working products. Thinks like a founder about what actually matters to ship.
High-leverage through automation

Eliminates entire categories of manual work. Applies Cursor, Claude Code, and MCP tooling to ship faster without sacrificing quality.
