What I'm looking for

I am looking for backend-focused roles where I can design scalable APIs, optimize systems, work in agile teams, mentor others, and grow into senior technical leadership while using modern tooling and CI/CD practices.

I am a backend software engineer focused on building scalable, high-performance backend systems using Python, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL. I write clean, maintainable code and enjoy solving complex backend challenges.

I have engineered backend services for a social marketplace platform and co-built an AI-powered image ad generator, handling API design, database modeling, and integrations. I also have hands-on experience with Docker, Git, and CI/CD workflows.

My experience spans Python and TypeScript backends, Node.js/Express services, and both SQL and NoSQL databases; I prioritize performance, security, and maintainability in microservices architectures. I collaborate in agile teams and have led backend efforts on multiple projects.

I seek roles where I can continue to design robust APIs, optimize systems through asynchronous programming and database tuning, and contribute to product-facing features while mentoring peers and learning new technologies.
