📣 Open to Work

After a dedicated career break focused on strategic upskilling, I’m excited to share that I am back in the market, available now, and ready to contribute.

Over the past year, I have been heavily invested in expanding my expertise across Python development, data engineering, cloud architecture, and DevOps automation. This included building Django REST APIs with test‑driven workflows, designing modular Python ETL/ELT pipelines for SQL Server to PostgreSQL migrations, and engineering Python‑based data ingestion routines across SQL and NoSQL environments.

I also advanced my cloud and DevOps skills by automating CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Azure DevOps, while implementing containerized and serverless workflows using Kubernetes, Docker, and Azure services. My exploration of Azure Data Factory and Microsoft Fabric orchestration has positioned me to lead cloud‑native data modernization initiatives with governance and scalability in mind.

With 10+ years of experience as a Software Developer I now bring both seasoned delivery and newly deepened expertise to the table.

I am actively seeking opportunities where I can leverage this cross‑domain skill set to design secure pipelines, build scalable APIs, and drive enterprise integration. If your team is looking for someone who combines proven experience with fresh, modernized skills, I’d love to connect.

👩‍💻 About Me

Senior Software Developer | SQL Developer | Full Stack Engineer | Data Engineer | Python & MuleSoft Integration Specialist | Azure | ETL/ELT | CI/CD | Cloud Modernization

I am a Senior Software Developer with 10+ years of experience across SQL Server, Python, MuleSoft, and full stack ASP.NET development. My expertise spans SQL development, full stack engineering, data pipelines, Python APIs, and MuleSoft integrations, enabling me to deliver scalable, secure, and cloud‑ready solutions.

I’ve built optimized SQL workflows, responsive ASP.NET/Angular applications, automated ETL/ELT pipelines, and Python‑based APIs that integrate seamlessly with cloud platforms. I also architect MuleSoft integrations that connect enterprise systems with security, governance, and test‑driven reliability.

I’m actively pursuing opportunities as a SQL Developer, Full Stack Developer, Data Engineer, Python Developer, or MuleSoft Developer — leveraging cross‑domain expertise to drive measurable impact across enterprise environments.

🛠️ Tech Stack

I design backend systems that scale, integrate securely, and support real-world teams. My focus is on building APIs, pipelines, and automation that are not only reliable but also easy to maintain and extend. Every solution I deliver is built with clarity, contributor onboarding, and long-term impact in mind.

  • I build RESTful APIs and microservices using domain-driven design, reusable factories, and teardown-friendly test scaffolds.
  • I engineer secure integrations across cloud and on-prem environments, automating data movement and accelerating team workflows.
  • My pipelines are analytics-ready and built to meet compliance standards, with reliability that holds up under institutional review.
  • I translate complex architectures into visual documentation and modular curriculum, making systems teachable and scalable.
  • I support full-stack visibility through UI integration, enabling contributors to work confidently across platforms.
  • I work with modular tooling across Linux, Windows, and containerized environments, optimizing for portability, automation, and open-source collaboration.

If you're hiring for backend architecture, data engineering, or integration strategy, I bring the clarity and systems thinking that help teams move faster and build smarter.
