What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an entry-level software engineering role to build scalable backends and modern frontends in collaborative, agile teams, with mentorship and growth using Python, Django/FastAPI and JavaScript frameworks.

I am a software engineer focused on building reliable backends and responsive frontends using Python and modern JavaScript frameworks. I bring practical experience from internships and freelance projects where I shipped full-stack applications and backend pipelines.

Most recently I redesigned a risky 40–70 hour email-validation pipeline into an asynchronous, API-integrated workflow using Django REST Framework, Celery, Redis and MX/SMTP checks to drastically speed processing. I have built full-stack applications with Node.js, Express and Sequelize, designed UIs with Tailwind and JavaScript, and developed a Django + Vue ride-sharing platform and a FastAPI temporary PDF viewer. I also optimized a Flask blogging app to deliver 20% faster API responses and integrated SMTP OTP verification for security.

I enjoy collaborative, sprint-driven environments, continuous improvement, and building production-ready systems that scale.
