Python & Django Development
Expertise in Python and Django as core stack, including Django REST framework, Flask, and asynchronous programming. Extensive experience building high-concurrency APIs, microservices platforms, and backend systems used by up to 120,000 daily users.
Tech Leadership & Architecture
Leadership of multiple cross-functional development teams, owning technical design, architecture standards, security standards, CI/CD pipelines, and release processes across large-scale microservices platforms.
AI & LLM Integration
Deployment of self-hosted language models using Ollama, vLLM and LM Studio, including speech-to-text, text-to-speech with Qwen3-TTS, agent workflows with n8n and Claude, and retrieval-augmented search with OpenCV.
Frontend Development
Development of user interfaces using React.js, Vue.js, Angular, Redux, React Native, Flutter, Tailwind, Bootstrap, and SCSS.
Cloud & Infrastructure
Management of cloud infrastructure on AWS, including Kubernetes, Jenkins, GitLab CI, Nginx, Gunicorn, Docker, and Git for deployment and orchestration.
Database Management
Work with relational and non-relational databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Oracle, and Redis.
Testing & Quality Assurance
Implementation of unit and integration testing using pytest, with test suites integrated into CI pipelines and enforced on every pull request.
Security & Compliance
Application of security standards including PCI DSS, OAuth 2.0, JWT, DevSecOps practices, and end-to-end encryption in payment and banking systems.
Full Stack & API Design
Design and delivery of RESTful APIs using FastAPI, Spring Boot, Node.js, and Celery, with third-party integrations and asynchronous processing.

Project history
Lead four teams totalling 17 developers, building and running a platform of 19 microservices and applications serving 120,000 daily users. Owns technical design of Python services in Django and Flask, architecture and security standards, high-concurrency API design, asynchronous processing, and third-party integrations. Sets unit testing standards using pytest, runs four coordinated releases per month, reviews 5 to 16 pull requests daily, mentors developers, and works with designers and front-end developers on Vue.js, React and Angular interfaces.
Led the team and defined the architecture for an indexing and search system over the client's internal documentation, integrating language models to improve answer relevance.
Deployed and optimised a locally hosted language model for secure internal use, built a scalable serving infrastructure that reduced compute cost, and trained the client's technical team on it.
