Backend engineer building scalable APIs and high-performance systems with Python and Java.
What I'm looking for
I am a backend software engineer with 4+ years of experience building scalable, production-grade systems using Python (Django), Ruby on Rails, and Java microservices. I focus on clean, efficient code, performance-driven design, and pragmatic solutions that directly impact business metrics.
At my current role I designed and launched 15+ APIs that streamlined partner onboarding and policy transactions, contributing to a measurable increase in partner acquisition and platform stability. I also reduced downtime through rapid production issue resolution and implemented automation that cut regression test time by half.
I have built content and dashboard APIs that enabled non-technical users and improved partner self-service, and I actively drive code quality by leading code reviews and mentoring junior engineers to accelerate onboarding. My experience spans multiple databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB) and modern development workflows (Git, Agile).
I am passionate about delivering reliable backend services, improving developer productivity, and collaborating cross-functionally to ship customer-focused features. I seek roles where I can continue scaling systems and mentoring teams while contributing to measurable business outcomes.
