Work Experience

Associate Backend AI Engineer at Knowatech
January 1, 2024 - Present
I build backend systems using Python, FastAPI, Django REST Framework, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB, focusing on healthcare technology, automation tools, and real-time data workflows. I have also taken on Project Coordinator responsibilities, coordinating communication, timelines, and delivery tracking across teams. Highlights include production-ready APIs with modular service/repository (clean architecture) patterns, FHIR-compliant healthcare backends, patient/observation pipelines, OpenEHR integrations, and OpenAI-powered validation. I created automation tools such as job scrapers and keyword-tracking systems. I integrated SQLAlchemy ORM, managed migrations, and optimized complex queries for performance. Implemented authentication, custom authenticators, and user management in DRF. Debugged and optimized backend systems across multiple codebases, improving reliability and speed. Designed scalable backend architectures, async workflows, and data pipelines, applying clean code, o
Backend Developer Intern at ESS (Expert Systems Solution)
January 1, 2023 - January 1, 2024
During my internship, I gained hands-on experience in backend development, building and maintaining server-side applications using Python, Django, and FastAPI. Highlights include building basic RESTful APIs with CRUD functionality for small projects, working with PostgreSQL and MongoDB, performing queries and data handling, implementing input validation and reliable API responses, and learning backend architecture fundamentals such as routes, services, and modular code structure. I also practiced version control with Git, debugging, and technical documentation, and developed small backend projects to strengthen API development and database integration.
