What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, agile team role building scalable, high-performance web applications with emphasis on microservices, cloud deployments, and mentoring opportunities.

I am a Full Stack Developer with 4+ years building scalable web applications using Python, Django, FastAPI and React.js, focused on performance and user-focused solutions.

I have delivered high-availability systems and microservices, migrated legacy applications, and deployed containerized solutions on AWS. My work has improved system performance by up to 40% and achieved 99% uptime for production apps.

I specialize in API design (RESTful & GraphQL), database optimization with PostgreSQL, caching with Redis, asynchronous processing with Celery/RabbitMQ, and CI/CD-driven deployments using Docker and Kubernetes.

I mentor junior engineers, collaborate across frontend and backend teams, and implement measurable process improvements that reduce manual work and increase throughput.
