I'm a Senior Software Engineer specialized in backend, cloud infrastructure, and distributed systems, with strong experience building production-grade platforms in high-traffic environments.
I usually work close to product, infrastructure, and stakeholders, helping teams design systems that are:
- scalable
- observable
- secure
- maintainable over time
My background combines hands-on backend engineering, DevOps/SRE practices, and technical leadership in real-world projects.
- Backend architecture with Python & Django
- API design (REST-first, pragmatic, scalable)
- Async & background processing (Celery, Redis, queues)
- High-traffic systems & performance tuning
- Cloud-native infrastructure & CI/CD
- Pragmatic DevOps (not buzzwords)
- Designing robust backend architectures for long-lived products
- Improving observability, reliability and performance
- Scaling systems without over-engineering
