What I'm looking for

I want to build low-latency, high-availability Python backend systems—owning APIs, microservices, and cloud deployments—while collaborating with product teams and mentoring others.

I’m a Senior Python Developer with 4+ years of experience building high-performance backend systems and cloud-native applications across Healthcare, Fintech, EdTech, and SaaS. I focus on low-latency, high-availability services and scalable architecture design with a strong API-first mindset.

I’ve built and optimized REST APIs, WebSockets, and microservices, integrating complex workflows across large datasets and external systems. In recent roles, I improved platform performance by 25%+ by optimizing PostgreSQL queries/indexes and improved reliability and delivery speed for enterprise users.

Alongside core engineering, I’ve delivered production CI/CD with AWS-hosted pipelines, containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes), and strong testing practices (Pytest, integration testing, load testing with Locust). I also mentor junior developers and work closely with product stakeholders, client-facing teams, and cross-functional groups—plus I apply AI-assisted products and modern AI coding tools in my day-to-day SDLC for faster, higher-quality development.
