What I'm looking for

I seek backend/cloud roles where I can build scalable data pipelines and APIs, lead teams, use TDD and automation, and deliver measurable business impact.

I am an experienced Python developer focused on building efficient, scalable, and secure backend systems for production environments.

I have designed and implemented data pipelines, APIs, and integration with third-party data vendors using technologies such as Kafka, AWS Lambda/ECS, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and OpenEdX.

I've led teams, run agile processes, mentored engineers, and managed stakeholder expectations while delivering reliable software across education, energy, retail, and SaaS domains.

I prioritize test-driven development, automation, and cloud-native deployments to deliver measurable business impact, including remote certification delivery, streamlined trader workflows, and resilient ETL processes.
