Building AI for healthcare leaves zero room for error.
I’m currently collaborating with an incredible team on Raphald AI, a medical detection application. Building the systems for a project with stakes this high is a massive reminder that the underlying backend architecture matters just as much as the machine learning model itself.
When integrating diagnostic AI, your API endpoints cannot drop requests, and your database workflows demand absolute integrity. You aren't just passing JSON payloads; you are handling critical, real-time workflows where stability is non-negotiable.
Engineering these systems continues to shape my approach to building robust Python backends. If you are developing a product that requires reliable AI integration or rock-solid FastAPI infrastructure, check out the newly updated services on my profile. Let's build something that works when it counts.
6+ months on Contra, zero projects landed. What am I missing?
I want to ask the community an honest question.
For over six months, I've been consistently applying to projects and jobs here on Contra. So far, I haven't been selected for a single contract or project.
On paper, I feel like I've done everything right:
Multiple Expert badges
Contra Pro member
20+ Hire requests on my profile
Yet none of it has turned into actual work.
I'm not writing this to complain. I genuinely want to understand what's happening. Is this common for others too? Are clients mostly hiring through their own networks? Is there something about proposals, pricing, or profiles that makes the real difference?
If you've landed work on Contra, I'd really appreciate hearing what worked for you. And if you're in the same boat, let's talk about it openly.
I’ve only been on Contra for 2 days and I’ve already started applying and reaching out to other freelancers to get their opinions. I’m worried I could be here for months without landing a project 😅. I’d really love to hear what you’ve learned and what you think actually makes the difference.
