About
A software engineer with 3+ years turning ideas into production systems. I live in the backend — where data, logic and intelligence meet — and I care deeply about code that is clean, scalable and quietly reliable.
My core is Python: building scalable applications with Django, FastAPI and REST APIs, backed by relational databases and tools like Redis and Celery. Lately my focus has grown toward AI and data-driven solutions — designing Agentic RAG pipelines, hybrid search and LLM features that actually ship.
Whether it's a freelance build or a long-term role, I bring the same thing: ownership from architecture to deployment, and a calm obsession with getting the details right.
