What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend engineering role where I can work on scalable, production-grade systems used by real users.

I enjoy building APIs, improving system performance, and working closely with product and frontend teams.

I’m especially interested in remote or relocation-friendly companies with international teams, strong engineering culture, and long-term growth mindset.

Backend Python Developer with 3 years of experience building scalable backend systems using Django and REST APIs.

I’ve worked on production projects including booking platforms, internal management systems, payment flows, and API-driven applications. My experience includes database design with PostgreSQL, background processing, and deploying backend services in real environments.

I have collaborated on international projects for clients and companies in Canada, Germany, and the United States, and I’m comfortable working remotely with distributed teams. I value clean architecture, maintainable code, and solving real-world problems.
