I'm a software engineer with 4+ years of professional experience, 8+ years of total experience in software development. Focused on backend and asynchronous systems. I’m fluent in English and Portuguese, and seeking roles in backend, fullstack and general systems engineering.

Technologies: Python, FastAPI, Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Pydantic, MongoDB, Supabase, Gemini API, Framer Motion, Vercel, Railway Resume/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fraol-ashebir-218b89239/ Email: fraolashebir84@gmail.com

I build AI-powered web products with typed, auditable backends. Open to remote contract or full-time work.

Briefr — AI research agent that returns cited reports in seconds. Citations pulled directly from grounding metadata, not generated by the model. Migrated from deprecated google-generativeai to google-genai mid-build and revalidated grounding behavior. Live: briefr-ai.vercel.app

AppealMD — AI agent that turns dental insurance denials into payer-specific appeal letters in under 30 seconds. Built as 3 explicit steps (classify → match payer rule → generate) instead of one monolithic prompt. Pydantic validation on every AI output stage — if a required field is missing, the API raises immediately rather than shipping a malformed letter. No PHI stored. Live: getappealmd.vercel.app

GetDodos — Full-stack tutoring platform with Stripe, session management, and document handling. Most technically complex of the three. Live: getdodos.com

I avoid abstractions I can't audit. I make product decisions, not just implementation decisions.

Founder-engineer looking for full-stack / product engineering roles, full-time or contract-to-hire. I've run a production e-commerce platform since 2020 ($100k+/yr revenue, payments + webhooks, 99.9% uptime) and recently launched a programmatic directory (guidedhunts.io). Recent work sample: a SERP gap analyzer built on SerpApi in ~2 hours — live report at https://serp.guidedhunts.io, repo at https://github.com/MichaelPGifford/serp-gap-analyzer (offline demo mode, runs in 2 minutes without an API key). I ship fast, own systems end-to-end, and I'm comfortable talking to customers because I've had to sell what I build.

Remote: Yes

Technologies: Elixir, Phoenix, LiveView, OTP/GenServer, TypeScript, React, Next.js, Clojure, PostgreSQL, Ecto, Docker, AWS, CI/CD

Availability: immediate — open to contract or full-time

Senior Elixir engineer shipping solo and fast. Built BEAM-concurrency tooling for SOC analysts at a managed detection-and-response shop, and full PETAL-stack apps (Phoenix/LiveView, Figma-to-deploy) as sole developer across several contracts. Currently building production Next.js/TypeScript apps for agency clients.

Independent work: CAKE, an open-source (AGPL-3.0) RAG framework built on Elixir/OTP. CAKE is to RAG frameworks as a game engine is to games; demo'd for a water purification firm with go-ahead from their director of engineering. Also wrote Periscope, an open-source LiveView plugin. Comfortable across the full stack and into DevOps; AWS Cloud Practitioner certified.

Look at the CAKE repo to see how I work: https://github.com/Thoth-Software/cake/

Notice the push gates using Credo, the merge gate with dialyzer, the automatic checks, and how I structured the CLAUDE.md to prevent the agent from generating slop. Disciplined use of agentic coding is a legitimate accelerant.

Also contract work in Clojure and learning Rust. Used Clojure to create a bot for finding translation work for an independent Japanese translator, more than doubling their yearly income.

Looking for backend or full-stack Elixir work with real systems and concurrency problems. I like to use the BEAM for what the BEAM is actually good at, which is massive concurrency. You can use the PETAL stack for much more than just building the next webapp!
