What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities in Cyprus or another location where a visa is required.

Senior/Lead Python Developer with over 5 years of commercial experience in developing and deploying production services. I design backend systems using Python (Django, FastAPI) and build API-driven, high-traffic services, optimizing their performance and stability. I have launched products from scratch and implemented architectural solutions (Celery, RabbitMQ/Kafka, Redis) to scale systems. I have experience in technical leadership: I scaled a Python team to 15 developers, conducted over 100+ technical interviews, and established development processes.
