I care about the unglamorous parts — the schema that scales, the query that stays fast, the service that simply refuses to fall over. Seven years across FinTech and EdTech, owning systems from API design through caching, deploys, and the on-call pager.

Today I run LevnTech, shipping Node.js and TypeScript backends for clients worldwide — and wiring in AI/LLM capabilities only where they genuinely earn their place.
