What I'm looking for
I am a backend-focused software engineer with strong experience building scalable Python services, databases, and production-grade observability. I have owned high-traffic backend systems, designed override frameworks that improved search experience by 5–10%, and reduced onboarding time for attribute extraction by 60–70% through config-driven solutions.
I build end-to-end systems with an emphasis on reliability and maintainability, contributing to ML retraining data collection, structured logging, and traceability. I also develop full-stack projects using TypeScript/React and Node.js, and I value pragmatic automation, clear APIs, and continuous improvement in production environments.
