What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth, particularly in AI and cloud technologies.

I am a dedicated and highly skilled Senior Python Developer with over 6 years of experience in building high-performance backend systems, AI-driven applications, and cloud-native APIs. My proficiency in Python, Django, Flask, and FastAPI, along with machine learning libraries such as TensorFlow and PyTorch, allows me to deliver robust solutions across diverse industries. I take pride in mentoring teams and managing scalable deployments, ensuring that projects are completed efficiently and effectively.

In my recent role as a Senior Python Developer at Bobtail, I architected and developed microservices deployed on AWS Lambda and ECS, leading API development for cloud-native applications. My experience at BharathBrands involved building secure APIs for global payments and collaborating with machine learning teams to integrate NLP-based models. I am passionate about leveraging my technical skills to create impactful solutions and continuously seek opportunities for growth and learning.
