What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead backend or platform engineering—owning architecture end to end, building reliable async services, and shipping scalable AWS and LLM-backed features with strong engineering standards and measurable impact.

I’m a Lead Python Developer with 9+ years of building and scaling production systems on AWS. I focus on reliable backend architecture using FastAPI and Django, with deep experience in async programming and distributed messaging.

I’ve delivered high-throughput data pipelines and multi-tenant BaaS APIs in production, including LLM-backed services. In recent work, I designed and shipped an async FastAPI backend for an AI image processing pipeline with real-time preview delivery.

At Indee Software, I built and scaled Python/Django backends for security-sensitive, high-traffic platforms and owned AWS infrastructure decisions. My serverless migration delivered ~30% infrastructure efficiency gains, and I led a 1TB+ video processing pipeline with ~40% file size reduction—directly helping win the Netflix account.

I’m also hands-on with performance and operational excellence: Redis caching with TTL strategies reduced database load under peak concurrency, and Celery + RabbitMQ throughput improved by ~50% via concurrency tuning and atomic task operations. I’ve led teams of 6+ and mentored engineers while maintaining security controls, reliability mechanisms, and zero SLA breaches over 3+ years.
