Software Engineer

Summary

Im a backend engineer specializing in Python/Django with 5+ years of experience building secure, scalable services for AI and fintech products. Ive taken platforms from zero to productiondesigning cloudnative architectures on AWS, exposing robust REST APIs, and implementing multitenant storage, subscriptions/billing, and endtoend CI/CD for zerodowntime releases. My work includes highperformance data pipelines (Kafka, Celery), optimized PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch, and reliability practices like observability, caching, and query tuning. Im comfortable in containerized, microservices environments (Docker, Kubernetes) and have integrated payments (e.g., Stripe, Apple Pay) and thirdparty providers. I thrive in remote, crossfunctional teams, translating complex requirements into clean, maintainable systems and mentoring teammates on best practices and delivery discipline.
