What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth in data-driven projects.

I am a results-driven Software Engineer with 7 years of experience in backend development, API design, data engineering, and cloud-based solutions. My expertise lies in building scalable web applications, automating workflows, and optimizing system performance. I am skilled in Python, Django, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and cloud platforms such as AWS and GCP, with a strong background in geospatial data processing and AI-driven analytics.

Throughout my career, I have developed and optimized Django-based web applications and RESTful APIs for enterprise data systems at the American Institutes for Research. I have also designed and deployed high-performance cloud-based applications, improving data processing efficiency and system reliability. My passion for designing robust, high-performance software solutions drives my commitment to making a positive impact in both business and humanitarian contexts.
