What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend-focused role where I can own REST APIs and microservices, build reliable systems with AWS, and keep iterating fast—shipping code that works with strong API design, testing, and CI/CD.

I’m a final-year Computer Science Engineering student with a strong focus on Python backend engineering, REST APIs, and microservices. I bring hands-on experience building production-grade systems and staying comfortable shipping under ambiguity.

Across projects and assessments, I’ve built and integrated backend components end-to-end—designing API contracts, validating business logic with graph algorithms (DAG validation), and pairing dynamic frontend behavior with reliable FastAPI interfaces. I also emphasize high-ownership engineering, CI/CD-driven reliability, and fault-isolated services.

Recently, I completed a full-stack technical assessment for VectorShift (YC S23), implementing a React/FastAPI system under time constraints with real algorithm logic, dynamic UI components, and structured API integration. I’m now looking to apply this machine-coding and production-delivery mindset to build dependable backend platforms on AWS and modern cloud stacks.
