About Me
I'm a software engineer focused on backend development, building scalable systems and high-performance APIs. I enjoy solving problems related to distributed systems, data processing, and system reliability.
My recent work includes building production systems with Django, PostgreSQL, and Docker, improving API latency, optimizing database performance, and supporting real-world applications with thousands of users.
I'm particularly interested in backend infrastructure, system architecture, and building reliable platforms that can scale as products grow.
