Technical Skills & Expertise

With over 6 years of experience in backend development, I specialize in building robust, scalable server-side applications. My expertise centers around Python, where I've developed everything from simple APIs to complex distributed systems. I have extensive experience with PostgreSQL for relational data management and have worked with various NoSQL solutions including Redis and MongoDB for specific use cases. My approach to API design follows RESTful principles, ensuring clean, maintainable, and well-documented interfaces. In recent years, I've focused heavily on microservices architecture and distributed systems design. This includes implementing proper service communication patterns, handling data consistency across services, and designing systems that can scale horizontally while maintaining reliability.

My frontend development expertise spans modern JavaScript frameworks and libraries, with particular strength in React and Next.js. Over 4 years of React development has given me deep understanding of component architecture, state management, and performance optimization. I'm proficient in building responsive, accessible web applications using modern CSS techniques and frameworks like Tailwind CSS. My approach emphasizes clean, maintainable code and optimal user experience across different devices and browsers. TypeScript has become an integral part of my frontend workflow, helping me build more reliable applications with better developer experience. I understand the importance of proper typing, especially in larger applications where type safety becomes crucial for maintainability.

My DevOps and cloud infrastructure experience focuses on creating reliable, automated deployment pipelines and scalable cloud architectures. I work extensively with AWS services to build cost-effective, performant solutions. Docker containerization is a core part of my deployment strategy, allowing for consistent environments across development, staging, and production. I've implemented CI/CD pipelines that automate testing, building, and deployment processes, reducing manual errors and improving development velocity. Infrastructure as Code is something I'm actively developing expertise in, particularly with Terraform. This approach ensures reproducible, version-controlled infrastructure that can be easily maintained and scaled as requirements evolve.

My mathematical background provides a strong foundation for problem-solving and analytical thinking in software development. With expertise in fundamental areas like arithmetic, geometry, and algebra, I approach complex problems with structured, logical thinking. Boolean algebra and discrete mathematics knowledge helps me in algorithm design and optimization. Understanding of probability and statistics enables me to make data-driven decisions and implement features that require statistical analysis. Linear algebra and calculus knowledge becomes particularly valuable when working on projects involving data analysis, optimization problems, or any mathematical modeling. This mathematical foundation enhances my ability to understand and implement complex algorithms effectively.

Through my role as CTO and various project leadership positions, I've developed strong skills in technical leadership and project management. I understand the full Software Development Life Cycle and have experience managing projects from conception to deployment. My approach to team collaboration emphasizes clear communication, knowledge sharing, and creating an environment where team members can grow and contribute effectively. I'm experienced with Agile/Scrum methodologies and understand how to balance technical excellence with business requirements. Startup management experience has taught me to make strategic technical decisions under resource constraints while maintaining focus on long-term scalability and maintainability. This includes technology stack selection, architecture decisions, and building development processes that support rapid iteration.
