About

I am a Senior Backend Engineer and DevOps Specialist with over 7 years of experience designing and operating robust, scalable, and secure cloud-native platforms. My expertise includes Python frameworks like Django and FastAPI, serverless computing with AWS and GCP, DevOps practices such as Docker and CI/CD, and API productization with OAuth 2. I’m passionate about building advanced analytics and AI/ML features using TensorFlow, PyTorch, and the OpenAI API.

I have a proven track record of integrating payment gateways like Stripe, PayPal, Google Pay, and Apple Pay, cutting API latency by up to 50% and reducing database load by 40%. Recognized for mentoring teams, streamlining workflows, and leading Agile delivery in mission-critical fintech, SaaS, and AI-powered products, I strive to deliver seamless, secure, and high-performance solutions in every project I take on.
