What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead backend and AI-enabled systems end-to-end—owning architecture, mentoring teams, and shipping reliable production microservices with strong CI/CD and scalable cloud foundations.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 12+ years of experience building production systems, with a deep focus on Python and Django/Django Rest Framework. I lead hands-on development across FastAPI, Flask, and SQLAlchemy-based architectures—balancing clean code, technical debt, and fast delivery.

I enjoy turning complex requirements into scalable solutions, from cloud-native CI/CD and microservices to high-performance integrations. I’ve led teams of up to 6 engineers, and I’ve recently expanded into AI/LLM development—building agentic platforms with LangGraph/LangChain and RAG pipelines for real-world workflows across healthtech, real estate, e-commerce, and fintech.
