# About Me

I'm a Python developer who loves building clean, performant backend systems. I work primarily with FastAPI, Django, and PostgreSQL to create APIs and services that handle real-world traffic at scale. When I'm not writing code, I'm exploring system design patterns, contributing to open source, or writing about Python on my blog.
