What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role where I can build scalable backend systems and APIs, work in Agile teams, leverage cloud and CI/CD practices, and contribute to high-impact projects with opportunities for technical leadership.

I am a Senior Python Engineer with 6+ years of experience building scalable web applications, microservices, and RESTful APIs using Python and frameworks such as Django, Flask, and FastAPI. I focus on writing clean, secure, object-oriented code and improving system performance through SQL optimization and testing.

I have delivered measurable results: improving application performance by 25% through query and schema optimization, increasing UI engagement by 25% via efficient backend-to-frontend data delivery, and reducing deployment time by 30% through CI/CD automation. I have experience deploying to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and using containerization and orchestration tools.

I collaborate in Agile teams, conduct rigorous code reviews, integrate third-party APIs to extend functionality, and maintain high unit-test pass rates. I prioritize reliability, scalability, and maintainability in every project to drive business-oriented software solutions.
