What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth and impactful projects.

I am a Full-Stack Python Engineer with nearly 7 years of experience in developing robust applications for Fortune 500 companies and high-growth startups. My specialization in Agile frameworks and DevOps practices has allowed me to design cloud-native solutions using AWS and Azure effectively. I take pride in implementing CI/CD pipelines and microservices architectures while maintaining clean code through SOLID principles and design patterns.

In my current role as a Senior Python Developer at Greenpearls, I have architected a Django-based microservices platform that significantly reduced API latency and scaled to accommodate concurrent users. My work on a real-time data pipeline with FastAPI and Celery cut ETL runtime from 6 hours to just 1 hour. I also focus on mentoring junior developers, ensuring best practices in Python are upheld, which has led to achieving 90% code coverage across core services.

Throughout my career, I have consistently sought to innovate and optimize processes, such as automating financial report generation and designing a fraud detection system with 96% accuracy. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive efficiency and quality in software development.
