Life, liberty, and the pursuit of reproducible applications.
I write backends and the web apps that lay on top of them, and I have an unreasonable soft spot for the part most people skip: proving the thing actually works.
A benchmark from a single run tells you almost nothing — change the seed and it can tell you the opposite. So when I claim my optimiser beats a greedy baseline, that number comes from 120 scenarios × 30 seeds, reported as a mean with the spread next to it. A result without a distribution is just an anecdote with good lighting.
That habit came out of my degree and never left. Give me a dataset and I'll happily lose an evening to it.
A supply-chain matching platform: FastAPI + PostgreSQL backend running an NSGA-II genetic algorithm (DEAP), with a Next.js/TypeScript frontend.
The interesting part isn't the stack, it's the trade-off. Cost, delivery time and reliability all pull against each other, so there's no single "best" answer — you get a Pareto front and then have to decide what you're actually optimising for. Measured over 3,600 evaluations (120 scenarios × 30 seeds) against the production engine code:
| Metric | Greedy baseline | Optimised | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Composite fitness | 0.682 | 0.801 | +17.5% |
| Delivery time | 8.02 days | 4.67 days | 41.8% faster |
| Reliability | 0.824 | 0.891 | +8.1% |
| Raw cost | 21,296 KZT | 51,648 KZT | +142.5% — a deliberate trade |
Pareto-front hypervolume 0.852 ± 0.12, converging around generations 50–60. Feasibility 100% across every scenario. Response time 0.069 s ± 0.015 s. Runs are seeded, so the numbers reproduce.
Also 51 pytest tests (TDD on the engine) and OWASP-aligned security — Argon2id, server-side sessions, rate limiting.
Heads up: the API sits on a free tier and falls asleep. Open the register page and give it ~90 seconds to wake up before assuming it's broken.

Alongside those: DEAP for evolutionary algorithms, pandas and NumPy when I'm poking at data, and Recharts when a result needs to be looked at rather than read.
Looking for entry-level software or web developer roles in the UK. I'm on the Graduate Route with full-time work rights, so no sponsorship needed.

If you've got a problem where the right approach isn't obvious and someone needs to measure which one actually wins — that's the job I want.
