My primary expertise is in Python and Django backends, with growing specialization in React and TypeScript frontend architecture. I have owned features across the full development lifecycle, from database schema design and API development through frontend implementation, deployment, and production support. I have contributed to multiple zero-to-one products that launched to real users. My experience includes distributed systems, event-driven architecture, asynchronous messaging, ETL pipelines, complex API integrations, and large-scale data processing. I am comfortable working across Python, Java, and Kotlin codebases depending on the needs of the project. I have worked extensively with AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD automation. I also have experience in healthcare, education, and internal operations platforms, including systems that support clinical workflows, student assessment, order processing, and reporting. I enjoy collaborating with product managers, clinicians, operations teams, and engineers to translate technical tradeoffs into practical decisions. I have also mentored junior engineers through architecture reviews, pair programming, and frontend best-practice discussions. I am looking for a team that ships frequently and cares about building reliable products for both operators and end users. I use AI development tools such as Claude and Codex daily to accelerate prototyping, code reviews, API design, and implementation. ## Skills 33 capabilities[API Integration](https://jobicy.com/talent/api-integration.md)[Backend Development](https://jobicy.com/talent/backend-development.md)[Bootstrap](https://jobicy.com/talent/bootstrap.md)[Celery](https://jobicy.com/talent/celery.md)[CI CD](https://jobicy.com/talent/ci-cd.md)[Cloud Computing](https://jobicy.com/talent/cloud-computing.md)[CSS3](https://jobicy.com/talent/css3.md)[Data Analytics](https://jobicy.com/talent/data-analytics.md)[Data Processing](https://jobicy.com/talent/data-processing.md)[Database Design](https://jobicy.com/talent/database-design.md)[Distributed Systems](https://jobicy.com/talent/distributed-systems.md)[Django](https://jobicy.com/talent/django.md)[Education Technology](https://jobicy.com/talent/education-technology.md)[ETL](https://jobicy.com/talent/etl.md)[Event Driven Architecture](https://jobicy.com/talent/event-driven-architecture.md)[fastAPI](https://jobicy.com/talent/fastapi.md)[Flask](https://jobicy.com/talent/flask.md)[Frontend Architecture](https://jobicy.com/talent/frontend-architecture.md)[Healthcare Technology](https://jobicy.com/talent/healthcare-technology.md)[HTML5](https://jobicy.com/talent/html5.md)[Infrastructure as Code](https://jobicy.com/talent/infrastructure-as-code.md)[Integration Testing](https://jobicy.com/talent/integration-testing.md)[Java](https://jobicy.com/talent/java.md)[JavaScript](https://jobicy.com/talent/javascript.md)[Kotlin](https://jobicy.com/talent/kotlin.md)[Next.js](https://jobicy.com/talent/next-js.md)[Python](https://jobicy.com/talent/python.md)[React](https://jobicy.com/talent/react.md)[Spring Boot](https://jobicy.com/talent/spring-boot.md)[SQL](https://jobicy.com/talent/sql.md)[System Design](https://jobicy.com/talent/system-design.md)[TypeScript](https://jobicy.com/talent/typescript.md)[Unit Testing](https://jobicy.com/talent/unit-testing.md) ##
