What I'm looking for

I'm looking for backend development opportunities where I can build reliable Python APIs, scalable data systems, microservices, and AI-powered applications while growing through hands-on product work.

I've built Django and Django REST Framework APIs across CMS, e-commerce, and multi-tenant client projects at Youth IT. My work includes tenant isolation, PostgreSQL schema design, ORM optimization, JWT authentication, role-based access control, and Docker deployments.

I've also built a voting platform with encrypted, tamper-evident vote records, a Django microservices system using Kafka and OpenSearch, and backend services for content management and e-commerce workflows.

I'm interested in modern backend internals and AI applications, from implementing HTTP/1.1 over raw TCP in Go to building RAG pipelines with semantic search, embeddings, hybrid retrieval, and LLM-enhanced generation.
