About

I am a software engineer with 3.5+ years of experience, specializing in Python and its frameworks such as Django, FastAPI, and Flask. My work has centered on designing and delivering RESTful APIs, building microservices, and developing full-stack applications. I have gained extensive hands-on experience with both SQL databases like PostgreSQL and MySQL, as well as NoSQL systems such as MongoDB and Elasticsearch, with a particular focus on performance optimization and clean data modeling. Over the course of my career, I have worked on building high-throughput APIs capable of handling thousands of requests per day, improved query performance through indexing, caching, and sharding, and deployed scalable microservices using Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS. I have also worked with Celery, message queues, and event-driven architectures, while following SOLID principles to ensure clean, modular, and maintainable code. I am passionate about solving complex engineering challenges, contributing to impactful products, and continuing to grow as a professional in global engineering teams. I am currently open to opportunities as a Backend Engineer or Full Stack Engineer.
