What I'm looking for

I seek roles building secure, cloud-native web and mobile systems using Python/Django and modern front-end frameworks, emphasizing compliance, CI/CD, and AI integrations.

I am a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer with 8+ years delivering secure, scalable web and mobile applications, specializing in Python, Django, and PostgreSQL. I build robust APIs, optimize performance, and deploy enterprise-grade systems in regulated environments.

I have extensive front-end experience with React, Next.js, Angular, Vue, and React Native, and a strong DevOps background using AWS, Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes. I consistently implement CI/CD, monitoring, and FedRAMP-aligned security controls to ensure compliance and reliability.

I integrate AI capabilities (OpenAI, Hugging Face, LangChain) to augment application intelligence and focus on writing clean, well-documented code while collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver customer-centered solutions.
