Presentation

Senior Software Engineer with 11+ years of experience building scalable, high-performance backend systems using Python, FastAPI, Laravel, and PHP. I specialize in designing clean architectures, RESTful APIs, and data-driven platforms that support real-world products at scale.

I hold a Master of Computer Applications (MCA) and have worked across multiple domains including SaaS, IoT, aviation, e-commerce, wellness, and enterprise platforms for clients in the US, UK, and Europe.

Over the years, I’ve led and contributed to backend systems involving authentication, role-based access, performance optimization, Redis caching, database tuning, and complex third-party integrations. I’ve also supported IoT platforms, building Python services for device communication and MQTT-based data workflows.

I actively work with AI-assisted development and prompt engineering, using tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and GitHub Copilot to accelerate development and improve code quality. I’ve also built agentic AI solutions, including intelligent chatbot modules using OpenAI models, designed to automate workflows and support user decision-making.

In addition to backend engineering, I’m a data analytics enthusiast, having completed a 6-month hands-on internship, where I worked on real-world datasets using Python, Pandas, NumPy, Tableau, and visualization libraries to generate actionable insights.

I enjoy solving complex problems, mentoring developers, and building systems that are reliable, scalable, and future-ready. I’m always open to opportunities involving Python backend development, FastAPI, AI-driven systems, or product-focused engineering teams.
