What I'm looking for

I am seeking opportunities that foster innovation, collaboration, and growth in cloud and data science.

I am an innovative and solutions-driven Expert Python Developer with over 6 years of experience in building scalable, secure, and performance systems for cloud-based and data-intensive applications. My expertise lies in Python, PostgreSQL, Docker, AWS, and JavaScript, with a strong foundation in web development, data analytics, machine learning, and cloud-native development. I thrive in fully remote, agile environments and am passionate about creating technology that empowers trust and safety in digital ecosystems.

Throughout my career, I have successfully designed and built full-stack brand monitoring systems, developed modular services deployed with Docker, and managed infrastructure as code using Terraform. My key projects include the Brand Sentinel System, which scans and classifies trademark infringements, and an Intelligent Data Scraper that integrates AI models to identify counterfeit goods. I have collaborated closely with product managers, designers, and stakeholders across different time zones to deliver impactful solutions.
