What I'm looking for

I am looking for backend-focused roles where I can improve system reliability and performance, work with containerized microservices, and contribute to open-source-friendly teams.

I am an experienced backend software engineer with a strong track record delivering production-grade services using Python, Django, and containerized deployments. I focus on maintainable microservice architectures, reliable payment and affiliate integrations, and improving core platform performance.

At WP-Media I refactored image compression pipelines, maintained Python dependencies across multiple microservices, implemented an affiliate program, and resolved payment processing issues with PayPal Braintree and Stripe. Previously at Neogeo Technologies I developed REST APIs with Django and Django REST Framework, Dockerized applications, and built public infrastructure and reporting tools.

I value open source, continuous learning, and pragmatic engineering practices. I bring experience with Celery, Redis, PostgreSQL, GeoDjango, and automated deployments, and I seek roles where I can improve reliability, performance, and developer productivity.
