About

I’m a Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience building scalable backend systems, microservices, and cloud-native applications. I work primarily with Python and modern API frameworks like FastAPI, Django, and Flask, and I enjoy designing reliable RESTful services, optimizing SQL performance, and building data pipelines with tools such as Airflow, Kafka, and PySpark.

I also bring strong DevOps and observability skills—containerizing applications with Docker, orchestrating with Kubernetes, and supporting teams with monitoring using Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK stack. My focus is delivering secure, high-performance software (including JWT/OAuth2 authentication and automated testing) that improves speed, reliability, and operational visibility for business-critical workflows.
