What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build scalable SaaS and cloud-native backends with clean APIs, reliable distributed processing, and practical AI integrations—owning architecture and delivering end-to-end features.

I’m a full-stack software engineer with 6+ years of experience building scalable web applications, SaaS platforms, and cloud-native systems, with a strong focus on backend architecture, distributed systems, and API design. I’ve delivered end-to-end products—from system design and infrastructure through frontend and mobile development—with an emphasis on scalability, reliability, and maintainability.

In my recent roles, I led backend and infrastructure development for a SaaS website builder using Django and AWS, and I built AI-powered content generation workflows integrating OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, LangChain, and n8n. I also architected distributed asynchronous pipelines with Celery and Redis, implemented production observability with Prometheus/Grafana/Loki/Sentry, and managed cloud deployments on Kubernetes (EKS) with Helm and GitHub Actions. Earlier, I developed REST APIs with Django REST Framework and built full-stack features using PHP, Python, and MySQL.
