What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and scale secure, high-performance backend systems—especially RESTful APIs and intelligent integrations—while collaborating closely across product and UI/UX, deploying reliably to cloud, and improving code quality through strong testing and reviews.

I’m an experienced Backend Engineer (5+ years) focused on building robust, scalable, high-traffic web applications. I work across Python frameworks like Django, Flask, and FastAPI, delivering secure RESTful APIs, reliable database design, and maintainable code through strong testing and debugging.

Some of my standout work includes building an AI-powered chatbot backend with LLM integrations and response orchestration, plus a graph-based conversation engine. I’ve also led backend development for microservices and payment integrations, deploying systems on AWS Lambda, DigitalOcean Droplets, and other cloud services—always prioritizing performance, data security, and clean collaboration.
