Freelance Apache Kafka Developer - Adrian Segui
Freelance Apache Kafka Developer5.0 (237 reviews)

**📝 Profile Context / Summary** With 10+ years across enterprise IT and global freelancing, I am an AI-Stack Architect—not just a full-stack developer. In 2026, the industry has shifted decisively: software is no longer just written; it is architected, governed, and continuously learned. The most valuable engineers are no longer those who simply write code, but those who can turn code into cognition—engineers fluent in the AI-stack. I am that engineer. I design and build agentic platforms—systems where AI doesn't just assist but actively plans, builds, tests, and releases software. I have successfully delivered complex solutions across Medical, Fintech, Employee Management, and SaaS industries, handling everything from AI-native frontends to hyper-scalable microservices with autonomous agent orchestration. **🤖 AGENTIC AI & MACHINE LEARNING** 2026 is the breakout year of AI inferencing—where trained models generate predictions and outputs from new data. Most AI computing is now spent on inference rather than training. I specialize in: Agentic AI & Orchestration: LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, CrewAI—building multi-agent systems that plan, act, and adapt in real time. Full-stack agent platforms combining proprietary training data, planning models, and custom actuation layers. Generative AI & LLMs: OpenAI GPT-4/API, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, HuggingFace Transformers. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with vector databases (Pinecone, Chroma, Weaviate, FAISS). AI-Native Development: 42% of committed code is now AI-generated, projected to reach 65% by 2027. I don't just use AI tools—I orchestrate AI agents across the entire SDLC: planning, design, build, test, deployment, and maintenance. Deep Learning & Classical ML: TensorFlow, PyTorch, CNNs (Computer Vision), RNNs/LSTMs (Time-Series/NLP), Scikit-learn, Pandas, NumPy. Model Deployment & Optimization: Model compression, quantization, edge computing, cost-per-prediction optimization. AI Governance & Security: AI-generated code carries roughly double the security risk violations of human-written code. I implement robust governance, testing, and security controls for AI systems. **⚛️ MODERN FRONTEND** React remains the most widely used UI library, with 67% of new enterprise React projects now built on Next.js—a 300% increase since 2023. React Server Components are now the default: Core: React 19, Next.js 16 (App Router, Server Components, Turbopack), Remix, Svelte 5 (runes), Astro. Styling: Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui (1.87M weekly downloads), Framer Motion, Material-UI. State: Zustand (35% adoption, 35ms updates) vs Redux (38% adoption, 65ms), TanStack Query, Jotai. Build Tooling: Vite 8 with Rolldown (Rust-based, 10-30x faster builds), Turbopack. TypeScript: Used by 38% of professional developers, required in 72% of frontend job postings. **📱 MODERN MOBILE** React Native's New Architecture (stable since 2024) delivers significant performance improvements through synchronous native module calls: Frameworks: React Native (Expo), NativeScript, Flutter. Native: iOS (Swift/SwiftUI), Android (Kotlin & Jetpack Compose). Emerging: GPU-powered rendering for consumer and enterprise apps. **⚙️ MODERN BACKEND & API** Runtimes: Node.js (NestJS, Express), Bun, Deno, Python (FastAPI—57.9% developer usage, up 7% from 2024), Java (Spring Boot 4.0—modularized, Java 25 LTS support). Spring AI 1.0: Built-in support for integrating LLMs and AI services into enterprise Java applications. API Design: RESTful, GraphQL (Federation), gRPC, Webhooks, WebSockets. Event-Driven: Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, AWS SNS/SQS. **☁️ DEVOPS & CLOUD (2026 Standard)** Cloud-native and Serverless adoption has surpassed 70% penetration in enterprise IT. Multi-cloud is now the standard—Gartner projects over 75% of cloud customers will adopt this model: Cloud: AWS, GCP, Azure (multi-cloud architecture). Containerization & Orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes (K8s), Helm. Serverless: AWS Fargate, Lambda, Cloudflare Workers—extending to data pipelines, real-time streaming, and event-driven microservices. IaC: Terraform, AWS CDK, Pulumi. CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD, Jenkins. **🗄️ DATABASES & SEARCH** Relational: PostgreSQL (PostGIS), MySQL, SQLite. NoSQL: MongoDB, DynamoDB, Firebase. Vector (AI): Pinecone, Chroma, Weaviate (for RAG and semantic search). Search: Elasticsearch, Algolia, Meilisearch. Caching: Redis, Memcached. **🔗 CRM, AUTOMATION & INTEGRATION** In 2026, the CRM market is consolidating around Salesforce, Microsoft, ServiceNow, and HubSpot as a durable challenger. Both platforms have invested heavily in agentic AI, predictive intelligence, and conversational AI: CRMs: Salesforce (Apex), HubSpot (Agentic Engagement Object), Zoho. Low-Code/No-Code: Gartner forecasts the low-code market at $44.5 billion in 2026, with 75% of new enterprise apps built on low-code platforms. Automation: VBA, Excel Macros, Google App Script, Bubble.io, n8n, Make, Zapier. Citizen Development: 80% of low-code users are now "citizen developers". **🚀 Why Partner With Me in 2026?** The software industry has crossed a clear threshold in 2026. Generative AI is no longer just helping developers write code faster—it is reshaping how software is planned, built, tested, and delivered. The role of the developer has evolved from coder to curator of intent, constraints, and outcomes. **I bring:** 10+ years of battle-tested engineering across the full spectrum. Agentic AI fluency—the ability to orchestrate AI agents across the entire SDLC. Systems thinking and architectural judgment—skills that AI cannot replace. Security-first mindset—AI amplifies what's already there; where code quality is managed, AI accelerates delivery; where it isn't, it accelerates technical debt and security exposure. Whether you need an AI-native application, a microservices overhaul, an agentic workflow orchestration, or an intelligent CRM integration—I deliver professional, scalable, and governable solutions. Let's architect intelligence together. **Contact me today.**

Freelance Apache Kafka Developer - Luis Carlos Mogrovejo
Freelance Apache Kafka Developer

Hi, I'm an engineering architect in Lima, Peru (UTC-5), building production systems since 2017. By day I lead data engineering at a US live-commerce platform: NestJS and Fastify services, Kafka, Redis Streams, PostgreSQL and DynamoDB, Prometheus and Datadog. The last three years have been on LLM systems end to end: multi-agent orchestration, MCP servers, evaluation suites, and the discipline that keeps them honest (a validator that is never the author of the work). What I help with: debugging a service that falls over under load, a Kubernetes cluster that will not schedule, an agent pipeline that returns confident nonsense, a Python or Node.js codebase that needs a real architecture review, or a small app you want built end to end (API, database, deploy). I also run a bare-metal Kubernetes cluster at home and maintain an in-house agent harness of 35 specialist agents, so these are problems I debug every week. Earlier: engineering lead at GameOn (Canada) and six years of Web3 engineering (Solidity on Arbitrum, Rust). Sessions in English or Spanish, evenings and weekends Lima time. Send the repo, the diagram or the stack trace before the call and I read it first.

Freelance Apache Kafka Developer - Micheal Edekin
Freelance Apache Kafka Developer

I started out as a Structural Engineer, graduating from UNIBEN, finishing among the top 5 in my class, before taking a path that led me deep into the world of AI/ML Engineering. That transition wasn't linear, it was built on exposure, experimentation, failure, and a lot of learning along the way. Through it all, one thing has never changed: I'm most alive when I'm at the intersection of technology and real world problems. Growing it, evolving it, building it, scaling it. That obsession has shown up in the work, from building the first-ever AI-powered RFP at TalkDEI, to finishing in the top 5 globally at Hamoye, to consistently scoring 98/100 on technical assessments. I've also had the privilege of mentoring and teaching over 5,000 individuals across various skillsets.
