Backend Software Engineer
Backend Software Engineer with 6+ years of experience building scalable, robust backend systems and APIs. Specialized in Python/Django development, with strong hands-on exposure to Golang and Node.js. I have a proven track record of delivering production-ready backend services, integrating with third-party systems, and working extensively with PostgreSQL databases in remote-first environments.
What I Do
Design and build RESTful and scalable APIs used in production by real users and businesses
Architect backend systems that are maintainable, testable, and built to scale
Integrate complex third-party services and APIs into existing platforms
Optimize PostgreSQL database schemas, queries, and performance
Collaborate effectively in remote-first, distributed teams across different time zones
Technical Skills
Languages & Frameworks: Python, Django, Django REST Framework, Golang, Node.js
Databases: PostgreSQL, Redis
Practices: Clean architecture, API design, code review, CI/CD, automated testing
Tools: Docker, Git, cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), monitoring and logging systems
My Approach
I'm passionate about clean architecture and writing code that's easy to reason about, extend, and maintain long after the first deploy. I believe good API design is a form of communication — between systems, and between the developers who build them. Whether I'm building a new service from scratch or improving an existing one, I focus on:
Reliability — systems that behave predictably under real-world load and edge cases
Clarity — code and documentation that the next engineer can understand quickly, without guesswork
Scalability — architecture decisions that hold up as products and teams grow
Security — following best practices to protect data and systems from common vulnerabilities
Why Work With Me
Six-plus years in backend engineering has taught me that the best technical solutions balance performance, maintainability, and team velocity. I thrive in remote-first environments, communicate proactively, document my work clearly, and take genuine ownership of the systems I build — from initial design and architecture through deployment and long-term production support. I'm always looking to solve meaningful problems and contribute to teams that value quality engineering.
