Owned end-to-end design and reliability of Django/DRF microservices powering core platform features, leading backend architecture and roadmap decisions. Improved API latency by ~30% and reduced DB CPU by ~35%, while retry/bulkhead/circuit-breaker patterns and health checks cut production failures by ~40% and lowered MTTR by ~30% through better CI/CD and observability.

Developed and maintained Django/DRF backend services and PostgreSQL databases to deliver reliable REST APIs. Designed data models and optimized SQL queries, introducing unit/integration test suites and CI automation to reduce defects and improve release cadence, while owning deployments and incident triage to maintain stable API contracts and SLA adherence.

Delivered end-to-end features from requirements to production with a focus on maintainable design and test coverage. Improved system performance through profiling and targeted optimizations, collaborating with QA to reduce defects and regressions, and supported testing, troubleshooting, and deployments for production incidents.

Built web scraping solutions using Python modules such as requests, urllib3, Beautiful Soup, and Selenium. Applied text analytics and data mining with data parsing packages to improve processing efficiency for business use cases.
