About Me

My Introduction

Backend Engineer with 1.5+ years of experience building Python-based serverless and cloud-native systems on AWS. I have designed and shipped production RESTful APIs — including a multi-tenant SaaS platform, a high-volume property listing backend, and AI-powered services. Hands-on with Lambda, DynamoDB, EC2, RDS, and PostgreSQL. Detail-oriented, comfortable with distributed systems, and eager to grow within a product-minded engineering team.
