What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend role where I can build scalable Python/Django APIs, integrate AI features, and own data pipelines with clean testing and fast performance—working with cross-functional teams that value quality and continuous improvement.

I’m a Computer Engineer focused on backend development, especially with Python and Java. I’ve delivered AI-enabled features—like a virtual assistant for automated psychological appointment scheduling—and I value practical engineering that meets real objectives through leadership, teamwork, adaptability, and proactivity.

In my recent roles, I developed and maintained Python backend applications with REST APIs connected to PostgreSQL, and I ensured quality with unit and integration tests. At UESVALLE, I built a decoupled modular monolith using Django REST Framework and Vue.js 3, designed ETL pipelines with Pandas and Celery, improved performance with Redis/Celery, and implemented geolocation with PostgreSQL/PostGIS—along with strong test coverage using Pytest.
