🧠 What I Actually Do

Build scalable backend systems with Django & Python
Design cloud-native architectures on AWS
Optimize APIs until the response time graph looks emotionally stable
Create automation workflows using AI tools
Ship microservices without summoning Kubernetes demons unnecessarily
Make developers slightly happier through tooling & DX improvements

📂 Featured Projects

eventflow — Event-driven order pipeline: Django REST API publishes domain events over Redis pub/sub, a listener dispatches them to a Celery task queue. Postgres + Redis service containers in CI, no mocked DB.
ai-pr-reviewer — GitHub Action that reviews PR diffs with Claude and posts findings as a comment. ~200 lines, fully tested, published on the Marketplace-ready action.yml format.
hrms — HR management system: Django REST Framework + React, soft-delete-aware unique constraints, versioned API with a compatibility layer, custom exception→status-code mapping. Deployed on Render/Vercel. Live demo →
