What I'm looking for

I seek a full-stack role where I can drive backend integration and AI solutions, take technical ownership, mentor teams, and improve system performance in a collaborative, product-focused company.

I am a full-stack engineer with over 6 years of experience focused on backend integration, AI-driven tooling, and delivering scalable web applications. I have led teams and projects that improved API performance by 40%, accelerated load speeds by 60%, and deployed integration solutions across 20+ web applications.

My work spans Python and JavaScript ecosystems (Django, Flask, FastAPI, Node.js), cloud and microservices architectures, and developer productivity tooling powered by machine learning. I take technical ownership, optimize system performance, and collaborate cross-functionally to translate product strategy into reliable, maintainable solutions.
