I'm building and maintaining billing and pricing applications at Recommerce Solutions, including scalable Django REST Framework APIs for data-intensive systems.

I optimize SQL queries and database schemas, refactor legacy codebases, and improve stability through monitoring, bug fixing, and performance work in data lake environments.

At Facildata, I led the full redesign of its web application, built its Django REST API, and delivered a web and mobile PWA with Svelte and SvelteKit while guiding a small development team.

Across freelance and in-house roles, I've delivered custom web applications, APIs, migrations, and long-term maintenance using Python, Django, SQL databases, JavaScript, Vue, Svelte, and React Native.
