Backend Engineer focused on scalable APIs and system optimization.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Backend Engineer with a passion for building scalable APIs and optimizing systems. Currently, I work at Sacred Goddess Studio, where I have successfully reduced API response times by 25% through optimized PostgreSQL queries and enhanced customer experience on Shopify. My expertise in engineering modular RESTful APIs with FastAPI and integrating GraphQL has automated real-time inventory syncs, showcasing my commitment to leveraging technology for efficiency.
Before my current role, I served as a Software Support Specialist, where I resolved numerous support tickets and automated workflows using Bash, PowerShell, and Python scripts, boosting team productivity by 30%. My journey began with an internship at IBM, where I developed an internal Spring Boot API that significantly improved data retrieval times. I thrive in collaborative environments and am always eager to tackle new challenges in backend development.
