What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills and fosters growth in innovative technologies.

I am a Senior Python Engineer with over 6 years of experience in backend development, specializing in API design and scalable architectures. My proficiency in Python frameworks such as Flask, Django, and FastAPI, combined with my expertise in SQL database optimization, allows me to deliver high-performance, secure, and scalable software solutions. I have a strong background in cloud computing, utilizing platforms like Azure and AWS, and I am well-versed in CI/CD pipelines to ensure efficient deployment processes.

Throughout my career, I have successfully developed and optimized scalable backend systems, built RESTful APIs with robust authentication mechanisms, and implemented performance tuning strategies that have significantly improved query performance. My freelance work has further honed my skills in automation and data scraping, while my participation in hackathons has allowed me to innovate and create cutting-edge solutions in blockchain and streaming technologies.
