What I'm looking for

I want to join an engineering team where I can build scalable, secure web platforms, apply ML/NLP to products, improve CI/CD and performance, and mentor engineers.

I am a Senior Full Stack Engineer with deep experience designing and implementing scalable web applications using Python and JavaScript, with strong expertise in Django, FastAPI, and modern front-end frameworks. I have led development of high-traffic services, built RESTful and GraphQL APIs, integrated ML/NLP solutions, and improved system performance and security through CI/CD, containerization, and automated testing.

My accomplishments include improving system performance and forecast accuracy with machine learning, reducing deployment times and vulnerabilities through improved pipelines and security practices, and mentoring junior engineers to raise team standards. I seek to join teams where I can continue to deliver reliable, performant systems and drive engineering best practices.
