What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities to grow my skills in backend development and contribute to innovative projects in a collaborative environment.

I am a self-taught developer with a strong foundation in Python and API backend development. My experience includes building secure, full-featured backend applications that incorporate authentication systems and data persistence. I am passionate about writing clean code and continuously improving my problem-solving skills.

One of my notable projects is the Task Manager API, where I developed and deployed a production-ready REST API featuring a secure JWT authentication system. I implemented full CRUD operations for user task management, ensuring ownership validation and engineered database models with proper relationships using SQLAlchemy ORM. This project was deployed on Render with PostgreSQL integration, showcasing my ability to create robust applications.

In addition to my technical skills, I have a keen interest in developing practical utilities, such as the File Organizer Utility, which automates file organization by type. I also created a Notes API that includes secure user authentication and password hashing, demonstrating my commitment to security and user experience. I thrive in environments that challenge me to learn and grow while contributing to meaningful projects.
