What I'm looking for

I seek backend-focused roles where I can design scalable microservices, improve system reliability, mentor teams, and work with modern cloud-native stacks.

I am a results-driven backend engineer with strong experience building scalable microservices, APIs, and cloud-native systems using Python, FastAPI, Django, and serverless patterns. I have led backend design, data-model evolution, and performance optimizations for fintech and SaaS platforms, focusing on reliability and maintainability.

My work includes redesigning legacy models with backward compatibility, implementing safe incremental migrations, optimizing DynamoDB schemas, and migrating synchronous systems to asynchronous architectures. I have built and maintained REST and gRPC services, integrated Kafka for messaging, and implemented CI-friendly deployments with Docker and cloud services.

I mentor peers, enforce best practices through code reviews, and document systems for long-term maintainability. I seek roles where I can drive backend architecture, improve system scalability, and deliver robust, production-ready services.
