Signature Achievements
- Designed and built scalable backend services and microservices using Python/FastAPI and PostgreSQL, handling high workloads and multi-tenant environments.
- Built and deployed async workflow systems using Celery, RabbitMQ, and MQTT for real-time provisioning, synchronization, and event-driven processing.
- Developed and delivered API-driven platforms with clean domain models, API versioning, and integrations with external payment, ERP, and IoT systems.
- Set up cloud-native deployments on Kubernetes with separate API, worker, and scheduler services — deployed and maintained in production across multiple client platforms.
- Built CI/CD pipelines and automated release workflows using GitHub Actions and GitLab CI, ensuring reproducible deployments across all projects.
- Implemented observability from day one: distributed tracing with OpenTelemetry, metrics with Prometheus/Grafana, alerting, and error tracking with Sentry.
- Integrated payment and invoicing flows (Stripe, Mollie, VAT compliance) correctly within robust, idempotent backend services.
