What I'm looking for

I seek backend or AI/ML roles where I can build scalable APIs, work with databases, and apply AI integrations in collaborative, growth-focused teams.

I am a backend developer with two years of professional freelance experience building scalable web and API solutions using Django and Flask. I specialize in database design and optimization with MySQL and PostgreSQL and apply rigorous version control and deployment practices.

My projects include a production tour-operator platform with booking and payment integrations, and multiple confidential client engagements delivering RESTful APIs and AI-integrated applications using LangChain and NLP techniques. I maintain a 3.9 GPA while studying Computer Science and contribute to open-source projects.

I am a self-directed learner passionate about AI/ML engineering and cybersecurity fundamentals, and I collaborate closely with clients to turn requirements into reliable, documented backend systems delivered on time.
