What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovation in software development.

I am a dedicated Python Backend Developer with a strong foundation in developing and maintaining scalable web applications and APIs. My expertise lies in Python frameworks such as FastAPI, Tornado, and Django, complemented by a solid understanding of database management using PostgreSQL and ORM tools like SQLAlchemy. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality software solutions.

Throughout my career, I have successfully developed and maintained authentication systems, implemented comprehensive unit tests, and identified critical bugs to enhance system stability. My experience spans various projects, including a web application for network equipment and a sports nutrition app, where I focused on RESTful API architecture and CI/CD processes. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in Linux environments and contributing to the continuous improvement of development workflows.
