About

I am a Full Stack Developer specializing in Django, AI, and open source software. With 5+ years of experience, I have built scalable applications—including BulkMailVerifier, which has processed over 100 million emails. My work blends robust API development (Django REST Framework, FastAPI), modern frontend frameworks (React, Svelte), and AI-driven solutions. I have delivered 50+ client projects (5-star rated on Fiverr) and contributed actively to the Django community as a Djangonaut Space contributor (15+ PRs merged) and session organizer. Passionate about open source, I have contributed directly to Django and Django Packages. I thrive on tackling challenging problems and delivering high-impact, clean solutions. If you need expertise in Django, AI projects, scalable APIs, or want to collaborate on open source, let's connect.
