PROFILE
Python backend developer with 2 years of commercial experience building production services: REST APIs on FastAPI, integrations
with external systems, and the data layer behind them. I have worked on services end to end, from schema design and
architecture through deployment on Linux and debugging live issues from logs, so the work has covered both new features and
fixing or optimising existing code. English: fluent.
