About

I am a dynamic and results-driven Backend Developer with a strong passion for crafting efficient, secure, and high-performance web applications. My 2+ years of experience have equipped me with a robust skill set spanning backend development, database management, and even data analysis, making me a versatile asset for any project.  

In backend development, I am proficient in Django, Node.js, Nest.js, and Express.js. I have hands-on experience in designing and implementing RESTful APIs and microservices architectures. My database skills encompass MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and Redis, along with experience using SQLAlchemy. I am adept at creating and managing databases to support complex applications.  

My frontend skills include JavaScript, React.js, HTML, CSS, Tailwind CSS, and Framer Motion. This full-stack capability allows me to understand the entire development lifecycle and contribute effectively to both client-side and server-side logic.  

Beyond development, I possess data analysis skills using Python libraries like Pandas, Matplotlib, and Plotly. I can analyze data, create visualizations, and derive actionable insights, adding another layer of value to my services. As demonstrated in my role at Shujero LTD, I can analyze player performance data, develop data cleaning techniques, conduct statistical analysis, and design interactive dashboards.  

I am also experienced in DevOps practices, including Docker, GitHub Actions, Ansible, and CI/CD pipelines. This ensures that the applications I develop are not only robust but also efficiently deployed and maintained.  

My project experience includes developing a fully functional e-commerce platform using Flask, PostgreSQL, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, featuring user authentication, product catalogs, shopping carts, and order processing. I have also built web scrapers using Scrapy and MySQL for automated data collection and management.  

I am committed to writing clean, maintainable, and well-documented code. I thrive in collaborative environments, am a strong problem-solver, and I am passionate about continuous learning to stay at the forefront of technology.
