About

Backend Engineer with a strong foundation in Python, JavaScript, Django, REST APIs, Node.js, FastAPI, and database design. I mostly program through architectural designs and patterns, which is very important in this AI era for codebase maintainability. My favorite patterns are the Adapter pattern (plug and play) to add and remove services easily, and vertical slicing(service) for clean separation of concerns, making the codebase testable, especially when following TDD (Test-Driven Development)
