What I'm looking for

I’m looking for opportunities to build secure, production-grade backend REST APIs—JWT auth, database design, and dependable CI/CD—where I can own features end-to-end and collaborate with teams integrating web and mobile services.

I’m a backend developer with 3+ years of experience building secure, production-grade REST APIs across Java/Spring Boot and Python/Django stacks. I focus on authentication, database design, and reliable integrations, delivering features end-to-end for real client needs.

At Rasst, I managed multiple client projects from requirements through deployment, designing scalable PostgreSQL schemas and implementing JWT-based authentication and authorization across REST APIs. I integrated payment gateways and SMS/email providers, documented APIs with Swagger/Postman, and set up CI/CD pipelines with unit/integration tests to improve deployment reliability.

Earlier, at Solido Technology, I built Python automation to streamline data migrations and developed backend services with Django. I’m also continuing to grow my backend portfolio with self-initiated projects (JWT auth, Redis caching, CI/CD) while looking for a team where I can own backend architecture and ship dependable services.
