What I'm looking for

I seek backend roles focused on Django/Python APIs, scalable systems, testing-first culture, cloud deployments, and collaborative teams that value reliability and measurable impact.

I am a Python Django developer with three years of backend web development experience focused on building scalable RESTful APIs, role-based dashboards, and automated background processing for high-transaction systems.

I have delivered production systems that integrate third-party payment gateways, optimize API performance with indexing and Redis caching, and automate tasks with Celery in containerized environments — improving payment success rates, reducing response latency, and cutting incident response times.

I prioritize test-driven development, reliable monitoring, and practical data-driven product validation through web scraping and automation, and I seek to contribute to teams building secure, high-availability web platforms.
