A Jack of all trades with a focus on Django
Description
As backend engineer, I have built, deployed, and maintained four web applications using FastAPI and React, with some projects also utilizing Elasticsearch. When I write code I focus on automation, ease of understanding, and performance. I love learning new things and deepening my knowledge. I am a team player who can also work independently and brings a positive attitude to every project.
