About

As a Senior Backend Engineer, I specialize in designing and implementing robust, scalable backend systems that facilitate seamless user experiences. I have extensive experience in building MVPs from the ground up, utilizing technologies such as Django REST Framework, PostgreSQL, and Celery. My expertise includes developing core functionalities like order management, onboarding, KYC processes, and debt facilities, employing tools like Python, FastAPI, AWS, Redis, and PostgreSQL. My proficiency lies in crafting and integrating RESTful APIs, incorporating third-party services for credit assessments, decision-making processes, and open banking integrations, thereby streamlining invoice factoring workflows. I am a collaborative team player, working closely with developers, designers, and stakeholders to deliver high-quality solutions. Utilizing Agile methodologies such as Scrum, along with tools like JIRA and Git, I ensure efficient project management and progress tracking. I have developed real-time dashboards using Retool to empower data-driven decision-making and have automated workflows with Python to minimize errors and manual tasks. Additionally, I have integrated localization platforms to support global expansion and multi-language capabilities.  Committed to continuous professional growth, I stay abreast of industry trends through active participation in online communities, webinars, and conferences, ensuring the adoption of cutting edge practices and technologies in all projects.
