Hello! I'm a Backend Developer with expertise in Python and TypeScript, passionate about learning and building impactful solutions. My strengths lie in crafting efficient, reliable servers, including designing APIs, optimizing server logic, and fine-tuning database performance. With over 7 years of experience in cloud development and deployment using AWS and Google Cloud, I excel in creating scalable and secure systems. Having contributed to organizations of various sizes, I bring a versatile perspective and a collaborative mindset to every project. Currently, I'm deepening my knowledge through an AI certificate program at the University of Toronto, honing skills in data analysis and model building. I thrive on tackling challenges and am driven by a curiosity to learn and innovate.
