About

I am a Senior Full Stack Developer with 10+ years of experience building scalable web, cloud, and AI-powered applications, with a strong emphasis on Python-based backend development. I design RESTful APIs, microservices, data pipelines, and ML integrations using Django, FastAPI, and Flask, while delivering modern frontend experiences with React and Next.js. I architect cloud-native solutions on AWS and Azure to deliver secure, high-performance systems across enterprise, government, startup, and financial services environments.\n\nI thrive collaborating with stakeholders to translate product needs into scalable technical solutions, mentor teams on software architecture and testing, and drive CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code practices that improve velocity and reliability. I’m passionate about integrating AI features, RAG workflows, and intelligent automation to create value across the product lifecycle.
