Technical Lead & Senior Backend Engineer ClarityWave
I lead engineering for an enterprise HR management SaaS platform serving more than 63 clients and 7,000 users. I own backend architecture, system design, infrastructure, CI/CD, code review, and engineering-team coordination using Django REST Framework, PostgreSQL, Celery, and Redis.
I rescued a legacy migration that had been stalled for two years by re-architecting the Django monolith and delivering a zero-downtime production launch within five months. I maintain an event-driven backend that processes thousands of daily asynchronous operations across more than 952 database migrations.
I directed the migration from AWS serverless infrastructure to a Docker-based Hetzner environment, reducing costs by 89%, from approximately $3,500 to $400 per month. I also established GitHub Actions and Ruff-based CI/CD practices and built a LangChain and ChromaDB RAG knowledge-base chatbot to automate customer support workflows.
