About me
Sr. Python / Django Engineer • APIs • Data pipelines • AI integration
I’m a senior backend engineer specializing in Python, Django/DRF, and FastAPI. I build scalable APIs, ELT pipelines, and automation services—often integrated with LLM workflows.
I focus on reliability, performance, and clean architecture. Recently I contributed to PromptPrivacy, a privacy-focused AI backend with semantic search, compliance-aware processing, and large-scale batch workflows.
