🚀 Backend Developer
I love working with APIs, databases, and scalable backend systems ❤️. Experienced in building backend services using Python, Ruby, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Golang, with frameworks like Django REST Framework, Ruby on Rails, Nest.js, and Sinatra.
Comfortable with PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Elasticsearch, and familiar with cloud platforms like AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS).
