What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend role to build production REST APIs and async pipelines, optimize database performance through profiling, and strengthen reliability with retries, idempotency, and solid testing.

I’m a Backend Software Developer with 2 years of experience building production REST APIs, asynchronous task pipelines, and data automation tools. I work across API design, schema migrations, automated testing, containerized deployment, and CI/CD, with a focus on profiling, query optimization, and retry + idempotency patterns in background processing.

At Lincode (Remote), I’ve owned end-to-end delivery of bulk import preview and execution APIs using Python + MongoDB, built a software license provisioning system with activation-key lifecycle management and encrypted generation, and containerized the LIVIS ML platform using Docker Compose. I also profiled CPU hotspots, diagnosed production aggregation-pipeline defects, improved reliability of reporting endpoints, and built CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions that publish versioned Docker images to separate staging and production triggers.
