About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Python Backend Developer and Software Engineer with over 5 years of experience building scalable backend systems, REST APIs, microservices, and ETL data pipelines. I have worked across fintech, e-commerce, healthcare, banking, and cybersecurity-related payment fraud domains.

I specialize in Python, Django, Django REST Framework, FastAPI, Flask, SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, and Celery. I design secure and maintainable APIs with authentication and authorization mechanisms including JWT, OAuth 2.0, and role-based access control.

I have hands-on cloud and data engineering experience with AWS services such as S3, EC2, Lambda, and RDS, as well as Azure Data Factory, Azure Data Lake, Databricks, and PySpark. I have developed high-volume data ingestion, transformation, validation, and reporting pipelines for financial and healthcare data.

I am experienced in DevOps and engineering quality practices, including Docker, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CI/CD pipelines, Git, automated testing with Pytest, code reviews, SonarQube, SOLID principles, and PEP 8 standards. I work effectively in Agile, Scrum, and Kanban environments.

My recent work includes backend development and validation workflows for Mastercard's payment threat intelligence platform, intelligent healthcare automation solutions at Wipro, financial data integration for Bank of America, and a digital loan origination platform for ICICI Bank.

I focus on delivering reliable, secure, high-performance services while collaborating closely with architects, analysts, QA teams, frontend developers, and business stakeholders. I am motivated by solving complex distributed-systems, automation, data engineering, and backend scalability challenges.
