What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead backend-focused product development in a fast-paced team—owning scalable APIs, async processing, and cloud deployments. I want a collaborative culture that values clean code, performance, mentorship, and shipping reliable features end-to-end.

I’m a Senior Software Developer with 9+ years of experience delivering robust, scalable, and maintainable web applications in fast-paced startup environments. I’m at my best taking projects from concept to MVP, with a strong focus on clean code, performance optimization, and collaborative development. On the backend, I work deeply with Python, Django, FastAPI, Flask, and distributed/async processing to keep systems reliable under real load.

In my recent roles, I led backend architecture and system design for scalable modules, built RESTful APIs and authentication flows, and integrated third-party services (including AWS SES/SNS) for production email workflows. I’ve also implemented asynchronous task queues with Celery and Redis to offload heavy operations—improving API responsiveness by 40%—and managed CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, Docker, and AWS EC2. I enjoy Tech Lead responsibilities like mentoring, code review, and coordinating cross-functional delivery, including leveraging GenAI tools such as GitHub Copilot to accelerate development without sacrificing quality.
