What I'm looking for

I seek backend or platform roles where I can build cloud-native APIs, optimize systems, work across teams, and grow in ML/embedded integrations.

I am a Python backend developer with hands-on experience building and optimizing embedded-system applications, cloud-native APIs, and database-backed services. I have delivered performant solutions using Docker, Kubernetes/Helm, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL while integrating with IoT hardware and low-level USB devices.

I collaborate across distributed teams and time zones, automate CI/CD pipelines, and improve system reliability through profiling, indexing, and caching. My background includes data engineering and NLP work, contributing to production ML pipelines and scalable analytics infrastructure.
