About
Building the backbone of modern web experiences.
I'm a backend-focused full-stack developer passionate about building scalable and maintainable web applications. My approach combines solid engineering principles with modern development practices.
While design is the visible layer, I believe that understanding the technical foundations leads to more thoughtful, robust systems. I enjoy the challenge of designing APIs that are both powerful and intuitive to use.
My long-term goal is to transition into AI engineering, combining my backend expertise with machine learning to build intelligent systems that solve real-world problems.
Key Capabilities
- Designed and built scalable RESTful APIs using Django REST Framework
- Implemented secure authentication systems with JWT and role-based access
- Optimized PostgreSQL database schemas for performance
- Containerized applications with Docker for consistent deployments
