## What I'm looking for

```text
I am a Senior Backend & Infrastructure Engineer (Python/Django, PostgreSQL, Docker) seeking a fully remote role focused on building scalable backend architectures, optimizing API performance, and managing containerized systems. I thrive in engineering teams that emphasize high technical autonomy, continuous skill development, clear role expectations, and long-term career growth.
```

## About

```text
Since pivoting into tech, I have scaled my responsibilities from frontend development to solely owning the backend architecture and DevOps ecosystem for a portfolio of web platforms—including an enterprise corporate welfare system serving 30,000+ active users.

My core expertise lies in the Python/Django ecosystem, monolithic containerized applications (Docker/Portainer), database management (PostgreSQL), and Linux server administration. Because I act as the sole backend and infrastructure resource in my current role, I am highly autonomous, comfortable managing full deployment pipelines, and experienced in optimizing applications for security and scale. I actively leverage advanced AI-assisted development workflows (including Claude Code and Gemini) to accelerate debugging, optimize code generation, and maximize engineering velocity.

Having successfully translated my foundational background in Music Production & Composition into building robust, scalable code architectures, I thrive in environments that require sharp problem-solving, rapid adaptability, and cross-functional ownership.
