Arif Dogan

Production AI and backend engineer based in Berlin.

I build Go/Python systems, LLM workflows, developer tools, and correctness-critical backend infrastructure. Most of my work sits where a demo has to become something real: observable, testable, scalable, and maintainable.

What I am good at

  • Production AI features: LLM orchestration, agents, RAG, evals, tracing, and failure handling
  • Backend systems: Go, Python, FastAPI, Django, PostgreSQL, Redis, queues, and APIs
  • Infrastructure: AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, and CI/CD
  • Developer tools: CLIs, debugging dashboards, observability, and workflow automation

Open source

I build tools for developers working with backend systems and AI-assisted workflows.

  • GoVisual - zero-config HTTP request visualizer for Go
  • FastAPI Radar - real-time debugging dashboard for FastAPI
  • LLMDog - package repositories into LLM-ready context
  • PromptPilot - version, test, and optimize prompts
  • K9Sight - TUI for debugging Kubernetes workloads

Consulting

I help SaaS teams ship production AI and backend systems.

Best fit:

  • You have an LLM or AI prototype that works in demos but needs production hardening
  • You need evals, observability, fallbacks, or better architecture around an AI feature
  • Your Go/Python backend is slow, unstable, or hard to change
  • You need a senior technical partner for a focused 2-4 week sprint

Not a fit:

Writing

I write about production systems, AI features that survive real users, and engineering tradeoffs.

Background

Previously co-founder and principal engineer at liftOS, where I built AI productivity systems, backend infrastructure, and cloud-native services. I have worked across fintech, SaaS, developer tools, and enterprise automation.

Stack I reach for most often:

Go | Python | TypeScript
FastAPI | Django | React | Node.js
PostgreSQL | Redis | Qdrant | Kafka
AWS | Kubernetes | Terraform | Docker
OpenAI | Anthropic | LangChain
