What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable web platforms where I can lead full-stack development, improve performance, and work within agile teams using cloud-native tooling.

I am a software engineer focused on building scalable, high-performance web applications using Python, Django, and modern JavaScript frameworks like React and Next.js. I have led development for large-scale platforms supporting millions of users, designed RESTful APIs and microservices, and optimized systems for reliability, performance, and global availability.

I bring cloud and DevOps experience with AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes, strong frontend skills in React/TypeScript, and networking expertise applied to complex systems. I practice agile development, prioritize user experience and performance, and have a track record of delivering production-ready features for mission-critical applications.
