I am a Python and Django developer specializing in backend systems, REST API development, and cloud deployment. My focus is on building secure, scalable, and maintainable applications that solve real business problems.
Over the years, I have worked across the full software development lifecycle, from requirements analysis and system design to development, testing, deployment, and production support. My background includes developing enterprise web applications, designing relational databases, implementing authentication and authorization systems, integrating third-party services, and deploying applications to cloud infrastructure.
My recent work includes building Django REST Framework APIs with JWT authentication, Google OAuth login, Stripe payment integration, PostgreSQL database design, and AWS EC2 deployment using Nginx and Gunicorn. I have also developed complete e-commerce backend systems, implemented webhook-based integrations, and created well-documented APIs using Swagger/OpenAPI.
Prior to specializing in Python and Django, I worked extensively with Microsoft .NET technologies and SQL Server, gaining strong experience in backend architecture, database design, stored procedures, application maintenance, and client-facing software development projects. This background has given me a solid engineering foundation that I continue to apply to modern Python-based solutions.
What sets me apart is my ability to understand business requirements and translate them into practical, reliable software solutions. I focus on clean architecture, maintainable code, clear communication, and delivering solutions that are ready for real-world use rather than simply completing development tasks.
