Senior Full Stack Engineer with 7+ years of Python expertise.
What I'm looking for
I'm a Senior Full Stack Engineer with over 7 years of experience in building scalable, production-grade Python applications using frameworks like Django, FastAPI, and Flask. My journey has taken me through various service and consulting roles, where I've successfully translated diverse business needs into robust RESTful and GraphQL APIs, microservice architectures, and AWS deployments. I am dedicated to writing clean, maintainable code and delivering effective real-world solutions.
At Instnt, I led the migration of core services to a modular Django architecture, significantly improving maintainability and test coverage. My work involved developing APIs that seamlessly integrated mobile and web applications, implementing asynchronous task queues, and enhancing CI/CD pipelines through automation. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with designers and product managers to deliver mission-critical features.
My previous roles at Perseus Group and Forio further honed my skills in microservices, automation, and real-time data processing. I have a strong foundation in both backend and frontend technologies, enabling me to build comprehensive solutions that meet user needs. I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex problems and drive innovation.
