What I'm looking for

I seek backend roles leveraging Python/Django and microservices, with strong DevOps/cloud practices, collaborative teams, and opportunities to build scalable, observable systems.

I am a backend developer with 3+ years building scalable web applications and microservices, focused on Python, Django, REST and GraphQL APIs, and cloud infrastructure automation. I prioritize reliable, testable systems and pragmatic DevOps practices.

My work includes unifying 15+ POS microservices via Apollo Federation, automating infrastructure with Terraform/Docker to cut deployment time by 55%, implementing an event-driven Kafka system with 99.98% message delivery, and developing custom Kong Gateway plugins in Lua. I also built Prometheus/Grafana monitoring dashboards and optimized caching with Redis to improve system reliability.

I contribute open-source tooling such as dStats (published on Docker Hub and PyPI) and enjoy designing real-time systems, performance tuning, and collaborating cross-functionally to deliver production-ready APIs and platform automation.
