Who I Am

About Me

Django Backend Engineer | Python Automation & Infrastructure

Senior Python engineer by trade. Building production Django backends, automation pipelines, and infrastructure-aware deployments. Gym rat, lifelong Linux user, and physics nerd by nature. Here is who I am.

Beyond the Code

The human behind the engineer

Self Coached Athlete

Designed my own balanced, full body weekly program. Built and iterated with AI tools the same way I architect systems: structured, measurable, and continuously optimized.

Linux for Life

Daily driver since 2008. I have tried dozens of distros over the years and customized each one until it felt like mine.

Terminal Person

The shell is where I work best, with scripts, automation, and Git all in one command line.

Science Mind

Fascinated by physics and space. That same curiosity makes me dig into how systems work under the hood.

Own Path

I research before I choose. Whether it is an OS, a phone, or a car, I trust evidence and my own experience over trends.
