What I'm looking for

I seek backend/DevOps roles building secure, scalable systems with strong engineering culture, clear ownership, and growth opportunities.

I am a Django-focused software developer and DevOps engineer with strong expertise in building scalable web and IoT backends, real-time systems, and secure applications. I design modular architectures, implement robust authentication, and optimize performance using caching and asynchronous patterns.

At NanoKernel Ltd I led development of an enterprise ERP/DMS with 1000+ REST APIs, a multi-tenant IoT platform, a PostGIS-based fleet tracking system, and a decentralized chat app — improving performance, security, and scalability across products.

I pair hands-on engineering with DevOps and security practices: containerized deployments, CI/CD automation, IaC, monitoring, and penetration-aware development. I thrive on solving complex problems and delivering reliable, production-grade systems.
