Ayush Kaushik · Backend & AI Engineer

Backend systems that stay up. AI systems that ship.

I build and run production APIs, RAG pipelines, and the data infrastructure behind them. Mostly Python and FastAPI. I care about the boring things: reliability, performance, and code the next engineer can read.

    ctx = await r.search(q)
    return await answer(q, ctx)

What I do

Engineering across the full backend stack

Four areas where I do my best work. The interesting projects usually need all of them.

Backend Development

Python and FastAPI services with clean architecture, async done right, and the reliability work that keeps them running at 3am.

FastAPI & async Python
SQLAlchemy & Postgres
Production hardening

API Architecture

Well-designed REST APIs that scale: versioning, auth, rate limiting, observability, and contracts your consumers can rely on.

REST & OpenAPI design
Auth & rate limiting
Caching & scaling

AI / LLM Engineering

RAG pipelines and LLM features that are grounded and evaluated. Built to survive production, not just the demo.

RAG & vector search
LLM app integration
Evaluation & guardrails

Data Pipelines

Ingestion, transformation, and scheduling that move data reliably, from one-off scripts to monitored production workflows.

ETL & ingestion
Scheduling & jobs
Cloud (GCP) automation

Experience & projects

What I've built, and where

3+ years shipping data systems, now focused on backend & AI engineering in production.

Featured project

Medyx: Healthcare Platform Backend

Python Backend Developer · Scalability Engineers

Production backend powering a healthcare platform: FastAPI services, async jobs, and a notification system, deployed and scaled on Google Cloud.

Production-grade REST APIs in FastAPI for core clinical workflows
