About

Enthusiastic and results-driven Software Developer with 2.5 years of professional experience in building robust and scalable backend systems. I thrive in fast-paced environments, leveraging my skills in Python (Falcon, Flask, Django), C++, Kong, SQL, Cassandra DB and JavaScript to deliver impactful solutions. I’ve designed and implemented secure authentication flows including JWT, SSO/SAML, and 2FA, along with platform-wide features like rate-limiting, session/login control, and system hardening. Passionate about backend architecture, DSA, and system design, I’m constantly improving my skills to take on deeper technical ownership, work at scale, and contribute meaningfully to innovative product teams.
