What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can build secure, privacy-first cloud-native products—owning backend APIs, data ingestion/ETL, and CI/CD automation. I want to write reliable, test-driven code that improves real consumer data experiences.

I’m a Senior Python Software Engineer with 11+ years of experience building secure, cloud-native consumer SaaS applications. I focus on backend API development, privacy-first architectures, and turning complex consumer data into reliable, high-value experiences.

Most recently, I led development of a secure consumer-facing AI platform, partnering with product, UX, QA, and engineering teams. I designed scalable backend services with FastAPI and Node.js for high-volume workflows and implemented secure data ingestion pipelines using REST APIs, ETL workflows, and asynchronous processing.

I also craft modern full-stack solutions, building responsive frontend applications with React, TypeScript, and SPA architecture to deliver secure customer-facing user experiences. On the backend, I’ve designed high-performance PostgreSQL/MongoDB models and optimized query and data modeling practices for both transactional workloads and analytics.

I’m passionate about reliable, test-driven software—using Pytest, Jest, Playwright, and React Testing Library—and I build automation into delivery with CI/CD, Docker, and GitHub Actions. I apply security-first engineering across OAuth2, authentication/authorization, encryption testing, and consumer data protection best practices.
