I am a results-driven Python developer with 15+ years of experience building production systems that process millions of assets across distributed infrastructure. I specialize in REST API design (FastAPI, Django), PostgreSQL data architecture, and containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes). I have a track record of architecting scalable data pipelines, automating CI/CD workflows, and delivering high-availability services. I’m looking to bring my deep systems programming and engineering experience to a Python-focused role, collaborating on robust APIs, microservices, and reliable software delivery in a team that values quality and maintainability.
