# Role / Project Brief

## One-Line Positioning

Remote AI automation, backend/platform and DevOps engineer building DriveDesk: business operations,
integrations, RAG workflows, FastAPI/PostgreSQL systems, Docker/CI deployment paths, and recovery
runbooks.

## Best Fit

- Remote-only backend / platform / DevOps / AI automation roles.
- Fixed-scope projects where the outcome is a working business system.
- Internal tools, admin panels, CRM/ops MVPs, integration adapters, AI/RAG workflows, deployment and
  recovery hardening.
- Teams or clients that need someone who can use AI to move fast while still leaving tests, logs,
  docs, smoke checks, and operational handoff.

## Why I Am Different

I do not position AI as a vague productivity claim. I use it as an engineering operating layer:
domain research, decomposition, implementation options, code generation, review, debugging, docs,
tests, and verification.

The value is speed through uncertainty with engineering discipline still intact.

## Current Proof

- **Autoschool54 / DriveDesk private work:** remote digital infrastructure support since March 2024,
  including business workflows, admin/operator support, automation, PostgreSQL/Docker thinking,
  backups, release/recovery work, and documentation.
- **DriveDesk Core:** public FastAPI/PostgreSQL SaaS backend foundation with tenant model, RBAC,
  audit/outbox, adapter boundaries, OpenAPI/SDK, CI, docs, and public demo.
- **AI Ops Workflow Kit:** document intake, RAG ingestion/retrieval, OpenAI/Claude/Gemini provider boundary, transcript analysis, approval queues,
  Telegram callback approval, dry-run Bitrix CRM contract handoff with live Bitrix24 read-only preflight, idempotent outbox drain, opt-in worker,
  pgvector-ready storage, deterministic tests, Docker, and integration boundaries.
- **DeployMate:** self-hosted Docker deployment control panel direction with VPS targets, SSH
  runtime tooling, logs, health checks, admin flows, CI/CD, and release safety docs.
- **MPlusForm:** addon and sync pipeline work around validation boundaries, server-side trust
  checks, Windows automation, and operational docs.

## Useful First Context

Fastest route: [Start here](./START_HERE.md). For role surfaces and proof links, use

For a role:

- remote setup, stack, product domain, expected ownership, and what has to improve in the first
  month.

For a project:

- the messy workflow;
- current tools and data sources;
- what "done" means;
- deadline, budget range, access limits, hosting constraints, and required handoff depth.

If you want concrete project shapes before writing, start with
[fixed-scope AI automation offers](./FIXED_SCOPE_OFFERS.md).

## Fast Evaluation Task

Send one messy workflow and one success condition.

I will respond with:

- risks and missing information;
- smallest responsible working slice;
- likely data model / integration boundaries;
- verification plan;
- what can be shipped first and what should wait.
