What I do

Backend Development

I specialize in building robust and scalable server-side applications using Python, Django, and FastAPI. My focus is on creating high-performance RESTful APIs with versioned endpoints, serializers, pagination, and OpenAPI documentation. I optimize database performance with PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB, achieving 30% latency reduction through strategic caching.

API Integration & Security

I integrate third-party services including payment gateways, cloud storage, and messaging providers with secure, fault-tolerant interactions. I implement JWT and OAuth2 authentication, input validation, rate limiting, and secure secrets management to ensure robust application security.

Web Scraping & Performance

I develop high-volume web-scraping pipelines using Scrapy, Zyte, Selenium, and BeautifulSoup to ingest, clean, and normalize large datasets. I leverage Redis and Celery for efficient task queuing, caching, and background processing to improve system reliability and performance.
