Backend & DevOps Engineer | Scalable Systems | Cloud | CI/CD | Testing Automation

About

I'm a Software Engineer who enjoys solving complex backend challenges and improving system reliability through automation and clean architecture. I've developed production-grade systems in Python, Flask, Django, and Node.js, integrating Kafka, Redis, and AWS to deliver scalable APIs and fault-tolerant data pipelines. My focus is building systems that not only work — but work consistently, with solid testing, monitoring, and CI/CD practices. I take pride in writing clean, testable code, mentoring teammates, and improving engineering efficiency through process automation.
