I build backend-heavy products end to end: APIs, AI and media pipelines, billing, and the UI on top.
Brazil · Open to freelance projects · bulgaaw.com · me@bulgaaw.com
- Backends and APIs. Go and Python services with clean data models, background jobs that survive crashes, and auth and billing (Stripe) that handle money carefully.
- AI features that are dependable and affordable. Streaming chat, structured generation with automatic review, cost metering against plan budgets, and pipelines whose output can be inspected and reproduced.
- Media pipelines. Audio and video processing with ffmpeg, speech-to-text, translation and voice synthesis behind small, swappable provider interfaces.
- Product UI. Server-rendered Go or Next.js interfaces with light and dark themes, built to be fast and clear.
- Systems tools. Small, fast Rust utilities that sit close to the operating system.
Both are commercial products, so their code is private. Each repository below is a public showcase with the product tour, screenshots and an engineering write-up.

An AI study tutor for Brazilian ENEM students: tutor chat, versioned notes, adaptive practice and flashcards. In development, preview online.
Highlights: durable chat turns with a live event stream · exam questions written, then blind-reviewed by a second pass · real-cost usage metering per plan.
|
AI video dubbing with cloned voices and a transcript-first editor, where you fix single lines and only pay to re-voice what you touched.
Highlights: translation with a per-line time budget and a fit loop that never cuts speech · content-addressed take cache · lease-based job queue.

- Keep the backend modular so any frontend can sit on top of it.
- Make expensive or irreversible operations explicit, quoted before they run, and safe to retry.
- Write down the design: each product above has docs that match the code.
- Ship a working slice first, then harden it with tests and real usage.
