What I'm looking for

I am looking for an internship or junior software role abroad with visa sponsorship, where I can grow as a developer and contribute to impactful projects.

I am an aspiring backend developer currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science at the Presidential Academy College. With hands-on experience in Python, Django, and REST API development, I have a proven ability to build and optimize high-load services using MySQL, Tarantool, Celery, and Redis. My journey has been marked by a commitment to improving system performance and implementing robust authentication methods, such as JWT.

Throughout my internships, I have successfully developed and optimized backend services, significantly enhancing query performance and reducing execution times for background tasks. My experience includes building RESTful APIs and implementing automated tests, which have increased code coverage and improved overall system scalability. I am passionate about contributing to impactful projects and am eager to grow as a developer in a dynamic environment.
