About

I am a highly skilled and experienced software engineer and database professional with over 10 years of experience in modern software development, I have a proven track record of success in creating and managing

high-performance and scalable systems, and I am well-versed in a variety of platforms, including Windows and

Linux, Python, Postgresql, MSsql Server, Mysql, and Redshift. I am also experienced in frameworks like Django

and Flask. I have worked for well-known companies such as TheZebra.com, Konga.com, Freshbook, and Yelp,

where I gained a wealth of knowledge and expertise in developing, deploying, and maintaining high-availability

systems. My most recent role as a Database Reliability Engineer in the analytics team at Yelp has given me a deep

understanding of the importance of data reliability and integrity.
