## About

```text
At Plego, I develop production Python backend services for enterprise applications, taking implementation through testing, deployment, and operational support. I also create FastAPI-based REST APIs with validation for reliable integration with web clients.

I’ve built TypeScript and React features for data-intensive workflows and Go components for integrations and background processing. For application data, I design PostgreSQL schemas and tune queries and indexes to improve frequently used workflows.

At Plego, I manage AWS environments and build event-driven workflows with SNS and SQS. I package applications with Docker, maintain GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines, and use CloudWatch and Grafana to monitor services.

At Itransition, I worked on production Python services and full stack applications, supported AWS infrastructure, and improved operational readiness with runbooks and automation. I also processed security telemetry and enriched threat intelligence data, and explored analytical datastores and graph databases for event and relationship data.
