Owais Ansari

Software Engineer

I build reliable software systems, intelligent applications, and secure web products — from backend services and APIs to the interfaces people use every day.

About

I'm a software engineer with 3+ years of experience building and supporting production applications. Most of my work sits on the backend — designing APIs, modelling data, and keeping services fast and dependable — with Node.js, Express, MongoDB, Python, and FastAPI.

I'm just as comfortable on the frontend with React and Next.js, and I've shipped web platforms, Shopify apps, and backend automation for clients. More recently I've been building LLM-powered features: document processing, conversational systems, and retrieval pipelines.

Based in Valsad, Gujarat, India

  • Retrieval quality in RAG pipelines
  • Data-driven evaluation of LLM output
  • Conversational systems that hold up in production
