Professional Profile

I am a backend software engineer specializing in Python (Django, Flask), relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL), and API development. My work centers on building secure, scalable, and maintainable server-side systems. I have solid software quality assurance experience — designing test cases, performing API validation with Postman, and catching defects early to ensure reliable, well-integrated software. I have worked across telecommunications, government ICT, renewable energy, and enterprise systems, adapting quickly to new domains and technology stacks. I actively deepen my skills in test automation, modern development practices, and cloud technologies to deliver practical, high-quality solutions. I am looking for a development role where I can contribute to meaningful projects, collaborate with strong engineering teams, and continue growing as a software engineer.
