What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead or build scalable backend and data-driven products, contributing to technical direction, reliable API architecture, product performance, and collaborative Agile teams.

At SpaceButton, I lead technical direction and build the backend powering real estate listings, agent-user connections, and peer-to-peer roommate and space-vacating features across mobile and web.

Through TeraByte Codes, I've delivered 10+ client backend solutions using Django REST Framework, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and AWS S3, accelerating development cycles by up to 40% and reducing server response time by 30%. I've also built APIs for expense tracking, e-commerce, media sharing, library management, and blog content.

I'm equally comfortable turning data into decisions with Pandas, Plotly, Matplotlib, and Seaborn. My experience includes product management, IT support reliability work, and teaching Python backend development to 70+ students.
