What I'm looking for

I seek backend/DevOps roles where I can modernize legacy systems, build reliable data/IoT integrations, and deliver performance gains within collaborative, growth-oriented teams.

I am an experienced Python developer with a diverse technical background spanning backend web development, DevOps, IoT integrations, and applied AI. I have led end-to-end projects from PoC to production, built Bayesian inference engines, optimized high-performance data integrations, and supported complex deployments using Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud CI/CD.

I thrive on improving legacy systems, designing robust data pipelines, and creating reliable simulators and adapters for protocols like OPC-UA, MQTT, and SparkPlug B. I emphasize clear, typed Python code, practical data science workflows, and collaborative customer-facing integrations to deliver measurable performance and operational improvements.
