What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build production software where I can deliver backend APIs, improve database performance, automate deployments, and work closely with clients on practical solutions.

At Tuem Consulting, I build and maintain Python Flask and Node.js backend services for production applications deployed in Dockerized environments. I work directly with clients to gather requirements, design RESTful APIs, and deliver production-ready features.

I've profiled ORM call chains to resolve N+1 query patterns and optimized PostgreSQL schemas to reduce data-fetching overhead. I also designed CI/CD pipelines that reduced deployment errors by 20% and accelerated delivery cycles.

My earlier IT and healthcare systems work strengthened my approach to uptime, automation, data confidentiality, and operational problem-solving. I bring experience with Flask, Express, PostgreSQL, React, Docker, AWS, and secure data systems.
