Backend & AI Engineer
I'm Arham Malik. Backend & AI engineer for over three years. Started as an intern at PTCL, now I build systems that don't fall over when real people use them.
At RedCoast I cut query latency by 60% and data scan costs by 30%. Automated 80% of AI workflows and dropped support load by nearly a third. Built FastAPI services with p95 under 150ms for real time AI. Delivered dashboards used by 50+ people that cut analysis time in half.
My favorite project? unHinged. A psychological survival game in Godot. Fear meter changes music, visuals, monster speed. Locked 60 FPS with object pooling. Proves I understand real time systems and user psychology.
AI work includes EvaluaSys with speech to text, text to speech, and NLP grading. Avenix, an enterprise LLM platform with sub second latency. Addictive Ads that parses financial docs using prompt engineering.
Python is home. FastAPI, Django. Cloud on GCP and AWS. Docker, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, BigQuery. AI with LangChain, RAG, vector dbs, OpenAI, Llama.
What sets me apart? I talk human. I don't ghost you. Working features every few days. I've already debugged 3am production fires so you don't have to.
Got messy data? Need a dashboard, custom management system, or an AI chatbot? Message me with your idea. We'll ship something solid.
