I am a backend engineer focused on building reliable, scalable Python systems. At Alpha.one I helped move the platform from a monolith to microservices, wrote the migration guide, built several services, and cut cloud costs by forty percent through better GKE scaling and Terraform automation. At Fashion Cloud I maintained a Django platform with more than twenty thousand users, fixed production issues fast, improved Ansible setups, and supported the team in regular on call cycles. At Divar I worked on high traffic systems, improved API performance, built gRPC services, optimized Postgres queries, and handled issues in Kubernetes. I also mentored new engineers and helped improve team morale and knowledge sharing. I combine solid engineering with clear communication. I solve hard backend problems, keep systems stable, and help the teams I join work better together.
