What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities in backend roles or AI automation roles within dynamic development teams that value collaboration and continuous learning.

I am a motivated and detail-oriented backend developer with a strong foundation in Python, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL. My passion lies in developing scalable and efficient APIs and web applications. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to writing clean code while continuously learning and improving my skills.

Throughout my journey, I have successfully designed and developed a RESTful blogging API and a full-stack car booking web application. These projects not only honed my technical skills but also allowed me to implement features such as JWT-based authentication and role-based access control. I am eager to contribute to dynamic development teams and take on new challenges in the tech industry.
