What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build scalable cloud-native systems, lead cross-functional technical work, mentor engineers, and deliver measurable performance and cost improvements.

I am a Senior Python Full-Stack Engineer with over seven years of hands-on experience delivering scalable, maintainable full-stack solutions using Python, modern web frameworks, and cloud-native technologies.

I have architected and deployed microservices and APIs with Django, FastAPI, and Flask, integrated AWS and GCP services, and implemented CI/CD pipelines and observability stacks that improved performance, cost, and incident resolution metrics.

I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, mentor peers, and focus on turning complex technical challenges into elegant, efficient solutions while driving data-driven product improvements.
