Backend Engineer with expertise in Python | Django | Graphql | AWS
What I'm looking for
As a Backend Engineer with over 2 years of hands-on experience, I specialize in designing, building, and maintaining high-performance APIs using Django and GraphQL. My proven ability to create robust REST and GraphQL schemas, implement secure authentication flows, and optimize database performance has consistently resulted in low-latency data access. I am passionate about leveraging AWS services, including EC2, RDS, and S3, along with container orchestration tools like Docker and Kubernetes to deliver scalable systems.
At Avialdo Solutions, I successfully reduced feature-development time by 25% through the use of AI-driven code completions and acted as a mentor to my peers, enhancing our team's debugging efficiency by 30%. My commitment to continuous learning and clean architecture drives me to advocate for TDD and code review best practices, ensuring that I collaborate effectively with frontend teams, DevOps, and product stakeholders to deliver customer-centric solutions on time.
