What I'm looking for

I’m looking for opportunities to contribute to real-world technology projects, continue developing my technical skills, and grow as a Backend/AI Engineer.

At FlyRank AI, I built a task management REST API using Python and FastAPI, with endpoints to create, retrieve, update, and delete tasks. I migrated its database layer from SQLite to PostgreSQL and used parameterized queries for database interactions.

I also containerized the backend and PostgreSQL database with Docker and Docker Compose, and used Git and GitHub to manage and document development projects.

Alongside my technology studies and internship, I manage health club operations at Afro and train clients at AfroPark Hotel and Health Club. I’m focused on developing my career in Backend and AI Engineering, and I’m open to opportunities to contribute to real-world technology projects while continuing to grow.
