What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend engineering role where I can take strong ownership of production systems and work on challenging problems around scalability, system design, reliability and distributed systems. I’m particularly interested in teams building meaningful products with modern Python, cloud and AI technologies, where I can continue growing while making a real technical impact.

I’m a backend engineer who enjoys understanding how systems work end-to-end and turning complex requirements into reliable, maintainable software. Over the years, I’ve worked on production systems across different business domains, taking ownership from design and development through deployment, debugging and optimization.

My core experience is in Python, Django, Flask and FastAPI, along with PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery, Elasticsearch, Docker and CI/CD. I’ve also worked on integrating LLMs into production applications and use AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Codex and Windsurf as part of my daily development workflow.

I’m currently looking for opportunities where I can work on more challenging backend and distributed systems, deepen my understanding of architecture and scalability, and grow alongside strong engineering teams.
