01 — About

Independent builder, systems thinker.

  • AI-powered platforms. Experience architecting AI-driven web products end to end, specializing in React, FastAPI, Docker and scalable system design.
  • End-to-end ownership. Designs and builds complete systems independently — AI website generation, multi-stage workflows and automated deployment pipelines.
  • Solid architecture foundations. Concurrency, workflow orchestration, and hands-on work on fault-tolerant, high-throughput systems.
  • Containerized deployment. Docker-based environments, dynamic routing and large-scale site provisioning.

Two platforms, one idea: automate the whole pipeline.

Project 01

AI-Powered Automated Site Generation System

View live ↗

A full-stack system that converts a natural-language prompt into a fully deployed WordPress website using AI-driven content generation.

  • React
  • FastAPI
  • Docker
  • Traefik
  • Nginx · PHP · MySQL
  • WordPress
  • LLM APIs
  • Independently architected the React + FastAPI system, turning prompts into deployed WordPress sites.
  • Designed multi-stage AI workflows that transform prompts into structured site configurations: page creation, layout and style, content pipelines.
  • Built an asynchronous, concurrent task system with lifecycle tracking, adaptive polling, timeout handling and retry logic for high-latency AI operations.
  • Automated per-site deployment in cloud-hosted Docker containers with Traefik-based dynamic routing and subdomain assignment.
  • Applied structured output validation, prompt engineering and data-driven A/B testing to keep AI content reliable.
  • Managed state-driven frontend flow for consistency across complex multi-step user interactions.
Project 02

Scalable Website Deployment Engine

A configuration-driven platform that automates provisioning and deployment of 300+ WordPress websites on cloud infrastructure.

  • Designed multi-stage deployment workflows (domain → DNS → DB → content → SEO) with fault-tolerant execution and step-specific error handling.
  • Automated infrastructure setup: domain registration, DNS configuration and verification (Cloudflare), and Nginx web server setup.
  • Implemented concurrent content-generation pipelines to parallelize LLM-based SEO content creation and improve batch throughput.
  • Developed a custom WordPress plugin for tokenized content management — dynamic content injection and updates at scale.
  • Maintained a versioned template system with switchable UI themes and content structures for iterative site evolution.
