Hey HN,

I’m a Staff Backend Engineer with 20+ years of experience, currently looking for my next opportunity. I specialize in Python, Django, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and scalable system architecture. I’ve built and led the development of high-performance applications, mentored engineers, and leveraged AI-assisted development tools to accelerate workflows.

I’m particularly interested in startups or small companies where I can have a high impact, take ownership, and help build something great. I thrive in fast-moving environments and love solving complex problems at scale.
