What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reliable backend systems, APIs, machine learning services, or data pipelines while contributing in collaborative teams that value structured workflows, documentation, and continuous learning.

I've built REST APIs, machine learning services, and data pipelines through backend development roles and hands-on software projects.

At Gauge Heavy Duty, I developed and maintained Django REST Framework APIs, implemented authentication and relational database models, and refactored business logic to reduce request handling time by 5%. At Wouessi Inc., I led 15 students improving document upload workflows and organized work through Kanban.

I've also built a FastAPI machine learning service for nuclear plant operator monitoring and an SDV pipeline connecting Eclipse Kuksa, Zenoh, and Ditto digital twins. I work across Python, SQL, Django, Flask, Git, Docker, Kubernetes, and GCP.
