What I'm looking for

I seek backend or AI-focused roles where I can build scalable Django services, deploy models to production, work with cloud-native tools, and deliver measurable user-impacting automation.

I am a Python developer specializing in backend development with Django and AI engineering for NLP and computer vision. I build and deploy full-stack applications, design and implement REST APIs, and deploy services on cloud platforms such as AWS and Docker; my projects achieved results like 85% object recognition accuracy and a 40% productivity gain through automation.

My recent work includes architecting a secure Django backend integrated with Gmail and Google Calendar APIs handling 1,000+ daily requests with high reliability, shipping real-time YOLO-based object detection at 30 FPS, and delivering full-stack applications with strong mobile usability and low load times. I prioritize data-driven solutions, end-to-end project execution, and measurable user impact.
