What I'm looking for

I seek a senior engineering role where I can lead backend and AI-first initiatives, improve reliability and observability, mentor engineers, and deliver scalable, testable services in a collaborative, data-driven product environment.

I am a hands-on Senior Web Engineer and team lead with 10 years building user-centered, scalable platforms and a current focus on AI-first solutions using Python, Django and Django REST Framework.

At Enovate Solutions I led a migration from a monolith to Django microservices, architected APIs, optimized MySQL performance and instituted CI/CD with Docker and Terraform, producing measurable latency, reliability and release improvements.

I collaborate closely with product, design and ML teams to translate AI requirements into production endpoints, ship personalized recommendation features, and improve observability with Prometheus, Grafana and Sentry while coaching engineers on debugging and best practices.

I bring deep backend, cloud and DevOps experience—Python, FastAPI, Celery, Redis, MySQL/Postgres, AWS, Terraform, CI/CD and testing—paired with frontend knowledge (React/Next.js/TypeScript) and a track record of mentoring teams, reducing incidents, and delivering product impact.
