About Me

As a skilled Backend Developer with expertise in Python, FastAPI, and Django, I have a strong foundation in developing and optimizing API endpoints, implementing efficient data processing scripts, and integrating with various databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and vector databases like FAISS. My experience extends to cloud platforms such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Amazon Web Services (AWS). I have demonstrated the ability to create scalable solutions for healthcare applications and implement advanced features like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems.
