What I'm looking for

I seek a backend or data-focused role where I can build scalable APIs, deploy ML-backed features, work with microservices, and contribute to a collaborative, test-driven team.

I am a senior Python developer and data scientist with over five years of experience designing, developing, and deploying scalable applications using Flask and FastAPI.

I have delivered performant RESTful APIs and microservices architectures, reducing API latency and enabling scalable analytics dashboards while collaborating closely with frontend teams.

My work includes building data pipelines, developing predictive models that improved forecast accuracy, and implementing background task processing with Celery for reliable ingestion and scheduled jobs.

I am proficient with SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL/MySQL, Pandas, scikit-learn, Docker, and CI/CD; I focus on writing tested, maintainable code and integrating models into production APIs for real-time scoring.
