What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable backend and real-time data systems where I can optimize performance, design APIs, and drive data-driven product decisions in collaborative teams.

I am a results-driven backend developer and data scientist with experience designing and implementing scalable, high-performance systems for enterprise and freelance clients.

I have built multi-banking systems, real-time data pipelines, and automated log-analysis solutions that significantly improved processing speed, visibility, and operational efficiency.

My technical work spans Java (Spring Boot, WebFlux, JPA, R2DBC, MVC), Python (Flask, FastAPI, Airflow), real-time engineering with Kafka and RabbitMQ, and cloud-native practices using Docker and Kubernetes.

I consistently focus on performance tuning and data-driven solutions, delivering measurable business impact such as reduced API latency, higher transaction throughput, and improved model-driven decision-making.
