About

I'm a backend developer focused on Python, with an interest in building reliable APIs, database-driven applications, and practical software systems.

I enjoy understanding how things work under the hood and turning ideas into clean, maintainable implementations.

Currently focused on:

  • Designing RESTful APIs with FastAPI
  • Building database-backed applications with PostgreSQL
  • Learning software architecture and backend design
  • Improving problem-solving through data structures and algorithms
  • Building practical projects and developer tools
  • Working primarily in Linux

Tech Stack

Category Technologies
Languages Python, SQL, JavaScript
Backend FastAPI, Pydantic, SQLAlchemy, REST APIs
Databases PostgreSQL, SQLite
Authentication JWT, OAuth concepts, password hashing
Tools Git, GitHub, VS Code, pgAdmin
Environment Linux · Fedora · Ubuntu

Projects

Verify — Source Verification Tool

An ongoing project focused on helping users verify information against authoritative sources.

Focus:

  • Source-based information verification
  • LLM-assisted processing
  • Structured document processing
  • Modular backend architecture

Stack: Python · FastAPI · PostgreSQL · LLMs


Backend API Projects

A collection of backend projects built while developing practical experience with API design and databases.

Focus:

  • REST API development
  • Authentication and authorization
  • CRUD operations
  • PostgreSQL database design
  • SQLAlchemy ORM
  • Input validation with Pydantic

Stack: Python · FastAPI · PostgreSQL · SQLAlchemy · Pydantic


Problem Solving

I regularly practice programming problems to strengthen my understanding of:

  • Data structures
  • Algorithms
  • Time and space complexity
  • Recursion
  • Searching and sorting
  • String manipulation
  • Problem decomposition

You can find my solutions and experiments throughout my repositories.

Development Philosophy

Understand → Build → Break → Debug → Improve

I prefer understanding the fundamentals behind a technology rather than relying entirely on abstractions.

My approach is centered around:

  • Simple over unnecessary complexity
  • Readable over clever code
  • Fundamentals over shortcuts
  • Small dependencies where practical
  • Continuous learning through building

Open Source & Collaboration

I'm interested in contributing to open-source projects, learning from experienced developers, and collaborating on practical software projects.
