What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can design, optimize, and secure database-backed systems—improving performance through query and architecture work, supporting high availability in production, and building automation that makes teams faster and more confident.

I’m a Database Administrator and Backend/Database Engineer passionate about designing, optimizing, and securing data-driven systems. I focus on performance, scalability, and reliable production availability—especially where query and infrastructure improvements directly impact outcomes.

In recent roles, I’ve configured and integrated MongoDB and built client-facing Retool dashboards for real-time visibility and actionable reporting. I also automated workflows with Airtable and Retool to reduce manual effort and improve operational efficiency.

Earlier experience includes developing and customizing Odoo modules using Python, integrating third-party APIs, and delivering new reporting and automation capabilities that improved business workflows by up to 30%. I also designed and deployed Flutter mobile apps with offline-first functionality for challenging connectivity conditions.

I began with internships spanning data analysis, backend engineering, and system administration—extracting and cleaning data for decision-making, building scalable RESTful APIs, and optimizing relational and NoSQL database performance. Alongside hands-on cloud operations on AWS and Linux, I’ve earned cybersecurity and AWS certifications to strengthen secure engineering practices.
