What I'm looking for

I seek senior backend or AI/ML-integrated roles where I can lead engineering efforts, improve system reliability, mentor teams, and drive scalable, automated deployments in collaborative, growth-focused environments.

I am a Senior Python Developer with nine years of experience designing and deploying scalable backend systems and integrating AI/ML models into production. I focus on delivering resilient, high-performance services that improve feature delivery speed and system uptime.

At AdvSoft LLC I led the design and implementation of a FastAPI microservices architecture that reduced response times by 45% and maintained 99.9% uptime for RESTful APIs, while mentoring a team of four engineers and establishing Git best practices.

Previously, I built and maintained Django REST APIs for high-throughput logistics analytics, refactored legacy systems into event-driven architectures, and developed AI-driven data cleaning and classification pipelines that improved data quality significantly.

I champion infrastructure-as-code, containerization, and observability using Terraform, CloudFormation, Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Grafana, and I bring a pragmatic, results-oriented approach to deployment automation, security, and cross-functional collaboration.
