About

I'm a Senior Django Developer with 7+ years of experience designing and shipping scalable backend systems, REST APIs, and full-stack web applications. My core stack is Python, Django, Django REST Framework, and FastAPI — backed by PostgreSQL, Redis, and cloud infrastructure.

Beyond the backend, I work with Next.js and React to deliver complete, production-ready products. I care deeply about clean architecture, performance, and code that's easy to reason about long after it ships.

Lately, I've been integrating AI capabilities into Django projects — working with LLM APIs, building intelligent features, and exploring how AI can make web applications genuinely smarter and more useful for real users.
