What I'm looking for

I’m looking to keep building end-to-end products where reliability, performance, and delivery speed matter. I want a team that welcomes AI features into production and supports mentorship, strong collaboration, and clear ownership from backend to frontend.

I’m a solutions-focused Senior Full Stack Engineer with 7+ years building Python web platforms across fintech, healthcare, and e-commerce. I work end to end—from Django, Flask, and FastAPI services to React and Next.js interfaces—shipping reliable systems that meet real product timelines.

Most recently, I rebuilt critical payment and compliance components on Django and FastAPI, driving backend request throughput up by 42%. I also revamped dashboards with React/Next.js performance work (lazy loading, memoization) and tuned PostgreSQL/MySQL using read replicas and indexing to cut query latency by 30%.

I’ve consistently modernized infrastructure and delivery. I migrated services to AWS ECS and Lambda with autoscaling, streamlined releases with GitHub Actions and Terraform (reducing release cycle time by 55%), and kept production stable using Pytest and integration suites. I’ve also brought AI features into production by automating fraud screening with a Python/scikit-learn model, lowering high-risk transactions by 38%.

I enjoy partnering closely with product and design, and I mentor engineers through pair programming and code reviews. Earlier, at Face Softworld, I built REST/GraphQL services connecting partner systems, improved client performance (including code splitting to reduce fetch latency by 28%), and scaled Kubernetes workloads on GCP while maintaining uptime near 99.9%.
