What I'm looking for

I seek a mid-level engineering role focused on Python backends or full-stack development, with collaborative agile teams, cloud deployment responsibilities, and opportunities to grow technical and DevOps skills.

I am a Junior-to-Mid-level software engineer with four years of hands-on experience building web applications, APIs, and backend services using Python frameworks such as Django, FastAPI, and Flask.

I build full-stack solutions combining React, Next.js, Angular, and Vue.js frontends with scalable Python backends, and I have a strong foundation in database design and optimization across PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB.

I have delivered client projects independently and as part of small agile teams, optimized PostgreSQL queries to improve response times, and deployed applications to cloud environments including AWS, DigitalOcean, Azure, and GCP, using Docker and Kubernetes for containerization.

I value clear communication with clients and teammates, rigorous testing and code review practices, and consistently delivering maintainable, production-ready solutions under tight timelines.
