What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role where I can leverage my backend development skills, contribute to innovative projects, and grow within a collaborative team environment.

I am a driven and detail-oriented backend developer with hands-on experience in building scalable and secure server-side applications. My proficiency in Python (Django, Flask) and PHP (Laravel) allows me to create robust backend solutions that meet client needs. I have a strong foundation in database management and API development, which I have applied in various projects, including a music recommendation system and a property management system.

Throughout my internship and freelance work, I have honed my skills in developing REST APIs, optimizing database queries, and deploying applications using modern technologies like Docker and Firebase. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with frontend developers to ensure seamless integration and alignment with project goals. My commitment to delivering high-quality solutions is reflected in my consistent recognition for clean, maintainable code and successful project outcomes.
