What I'm looking for

I’m looking to continue building Python/Django services and TDD-driven REST APIs, owning full-stack features where needed. I want a product-focused team that values clean engineering, data workflows, and measurable customer impact.

I’m a tech specialist with solid experience building Python-based systems for real-world products, including REST APIs and full-stack interfaces. I’ve worked across the stack using Django with TDD and modern front-end frameworks, focusing on reliability, maintainability, and fast delivery.

Most recently, I’ve been an Associate Tech Specialist at Tech Mahindra (March 2023–present), where I helped take a product from scratch: processing real-time data stored in AWS S3 into Snowflake, and enabling UI dashboards used by sales and marketing teams for retention decisions. Before that, as a Senior Software Engineer at Akamai Technologies and later Senior Manager at Morgan Stanley, I delivered backend and migration-focused tooling using Python, Django, and front-end development.

My background also includes hands-on work from earlier roles and projects: building dashboards, developing video/telemetry-related solutions, and working with databases like PostgreSQL/MySQL and cloud tooling. I bring a strong engineering mindset—designing and developing REST APIs in TDD, handling data workflows, and collaborating effectively to turn requirements into production-ready features.
