Message

I've built scalable web services, microservices, and data-processing systems for Flicken, Paymob, Turing, Venrup, Fecundity LLC, and Big Data Analytics.

At Paymob and Turing, I developed Django and Django REST Framework back-end services, data scraping systems, RabbitMQ pipelines, and React interfaces for integrated applications.

I've delivered scraping, ETL, caching, and data-wrangling solutions using Scrapy, Selenium, Pandas, Redis, Memcached, and SQL-based databases. My project work includes event data processing for Unation, an academic LMS for IRSA, and real-estate price analysis.

At Flicken, I direct sprint management, requirements gathering, training, and code reviews to help teams deliver robust software on time.
