What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend-focused role where I can build secure, high-performance REST APIs, collaborate with frontend teams, and grow through clean engineering, testing, and continuous improvement of real products.

I’m a detail-oriented Pure Mathematics graduate and backend developer with hands-on experience building RESTful APIs and backend services. I focus on reliability, performance, and clean engineering practices that help teams ship faster.

In my backend role, I developed and maintained RESTful APIs using Django REST Framework, serving 50,000+ active users. I designed and optimized PostgreSQL database schemas (up to 40% query performance improvement), implemented JWT authentication with role-based access control for a multi-tenant SaaS platform, and used PyTest to reach 85%+ unit and integration test coverage.

I also strengthen my backend work through practical web development and real projects. From an internship building responsive web applications with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, to personal and open-source work like a Django e-commerce API with Stripe webhooks and a task management API using Celery and Redis, I enjoy turning problem-solving into working features.
