What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth.

As a detail-oriented Software Developer, I have hands-on experience in Python and SQL, specializing in backend development and cloud infrastructure. My expertise lies in building scalable Django applications and orchestrating CI/CD pipelines, particularly with AWS. I thrive in Agile environments, utilizing tools like Jira to enhance collaboration and improve product outcomes.

Currently, I am contributing to DMI Financial Services, where I build and maintain a Django-based web application that integrates CI/CD pipelines for efficient deployments. My work has significantly improved sales team efficiency and reduced operational costs. I also enjoy exploring new technologies, such as Rust, to enhance performance and evaluate potential integrations.
