What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote or on-site engineering roles where I can build secure backend systems, APIs, cloud solutions, and automation. I'm open to night shifts and on-call rotations.

I've built secure Python backends for PostIt Ultra, integrating OAuth 2.0 and REST API flows for TikTok, Meta, Threads, WordPress, and Shopify. I designed token-handling callbacks, dynamic Shopify OAuth routing, and local webhook testing workflows with Django, PostgreSQL, Docker, and Ngrok.

I've also developed Django music APIs, FastAPI CI/CD workflows, AWS security monitoring, and a MERN analytics dashboard. I bring hands-on experience with relational databases, JWT authentication, cloud infrastructure, and maintainable API design.
