Senior Python backend engineer building cloud-native systems, workflow automation, and LLM-driven solutions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Python Backend Engineer with 11+ years building scalable backend systems, cloud-native applications, workflow automation platforms, and distributed systems. I bring hands-on expertise across Python, Django/Flask/FastAPI, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS/GCP, CI/CD, and production observability.
Most recently, I’ve led and delivered backend and platform modernization across enterprise client engagements, including Google, ConnectWise, and Anaplan—designing APIs and integrations, migrating infrastructure from AWS EKS to Rancher-managed Kubernetes, and improving release consistency through Harness to ArgoCD/Kargo. I’m currently focused on AI-driven automation and LLM-based workflows, combining strong engineering fundamentals with practical automation patterns.
