Building backends that don't break at 3am.

## About

  • -

    Backend engineer who enjoys solving the quiet, hard problems — auth flows that hold up, pipelines that stay reliable, APIs that are a pleasure to work with. I've shipped production features at two companies, explained backend concepts and mentored junior developers at a university dev community, and built kalamna from the ground up as a graduation project. I write Python, reach for FastAPI or Django depending on what the project needs, and care enough about deployment to Docker everything properly. I'm looking for a backend role where the work is meaningful and the team takes pride in what they build.
