About

Professional summary

I am a software engineer with more than seven years of experience delivering production software end to end. My primary expertise is Python backend development with Django, Django REST Framework, FastAPI, Celery, and SQL databases.

I build scalable APIs, microservices, and full-stack products, and I am experienced with PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, React, TypeScript, Vue, and Nuxt. I enjoy owning technical work from research and proof of concept through deployment and ongoing production support.

I have extensive experience integrating third-party platforms and APIs. My work includes flight-content providers such as Amadeus, Sabre, Duffel, and Travelport; advertising APIs from Meta and Google; and Chargebee subscription billing.

I am comfortable troubleshooting complex production issues, improving asynchronous task throughput, and building reliable systems under load. I have worked with APIs serving approximately 100,000 requests per day and have implemented load-testing, CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, and blue/green deployment workflows.

I value quality-focused engineering practices including test-driven development, code review, QA/UAT collaboration, and mentoring. I have mentored co-op students, supported customer-success tooling, and contributed across frontend, backend, DevOps, and platform engineering responsibilities.

Career history

Full Stack Software Developer TripNinja

Integrated Amadeus, Sabre, Duffel, and Travelport flight-content providers into an itinerary-generation workflow using React, TypeScript, Django REST Framework, and PostgreSQL. Worked within the Support and UAT squad on QA, bug triage, platform, and backend initiatives.

Diagnosed and resolved Celery throughput bottlenecks in a B2B travel API serving approximately 100,000 requests daily, reducing latency and error rates by removing redundant internal HTTP calls. Built the company's first service extracted from a Django monolith: an AWS Cognito JWT authentication service behind an API Gateway proxy. Also delivered paired C# and Python client SDKs and a React/DRF developer token-generation flow.

Full Stack Software Developer ChartD

Designed a flexible MongoDB Atlas data model that enabled customers to define their own schemas, allowing the product to support multiple use cases without code changes.

Acted as sole owner of the FastAPI backend architecture and AWS/DevOps setup for a five-person pre-release startup. Built CI/CD with GitHub Actions, Docker and ECR workflows, and blue/green deployments on AWS Lightsail. Created a Locust load-testing harness that exercised complete user flows against the backend.

Full Stack Software Developer FarmLink (GrainFox)

Designed and implemented an end-to-end Chargebee subscription billing integration, owning research, proof of concept, and full production implementation. Built secure account-impersonation tooling for the Customer Success team with scoped access, audit logging, action-level impersonation flags, and persistent consent messaging.

Engineered a daily Celery price-aggregation and alerting system, improving latency by moving price-matching and geographic logic into database queries through the Django ORM. Enforced pytest-based test-driven development to maintain more than 80% backend coverage and mentored four co-op students.

Full Stack Software Developer (Founding Engineer) LoKnow

Served as founding engineer for Retriever, an automated advertising product that scraped client inventory and generated and managed display advertising across Facebook, Instagram, and Google. Built Python and Scrapyd scraping microservices processing more than 10,000 inventory items and integrated the Meta Ads and Google Ads APIs.

Built the initial proof of concept independently, covering the scraper, data pipeline, Celery workflow, and Facebook Ads API integration; the outcome supported team growth from two to seven people. Co-designed a Django and Vue role-based access control system with the engineering team.
