Hi, I’m Jessica Austin, a Python developer with 3+ years of professional experience building high-performance applications for enterprise-scale systems. I specialize in designing event-driven services, REST and GraphQL APIs, and large-scale data ingestion pipelines on AWS. I enjoy turning complex data into reliable, scalable solutions and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver production-ready features. My strengths include data ingestion, normalization, and workflow components to ensure data quality, consistency, and operational reliability. I have hands-on experience with AWS serverless architecture (Lambda, DynamoDB, CloudWatch, S3, Step Functions), Agile methodologies, and building robust API integrations and monitoring. I’m always eager to learn new technologies and apply them to solve real business problems.
