What I'm looking for

I seek senior backend roles where I can build scalable, compliant systems using Python/Postgres/PostGIS, automate infrastructure, mentor teams, and solve complex data challenges.

I am a Senior Backend Software Engineer with extensive experience building scalable APIs and data pipelines using Python, Flask, and PostgreSQL. I design and optimize database schemas, implement PostGIS geospatial workflows, and automate deployments with Docker, CI/CD, and Terraform on AWS to deliver high‑performance, reliable systems.

I have led backend development across multiple companies, improving query performance, reducing deployment time, and mentoring junior engineers. I prioritize data validation, regulatory compliance, and pragmatic infrastructure automation to produce maintainable, production‑ready services that support analytics and location‑based features.
