I'm a backend-focused software engineer building secure, database-backed APIs with Python, Flask, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, JWT authentication, role-based authorization, audit logs, and automated testing.
Before moving into software engineering, I worked in operations and legal/immigration case management, leading workflow-heavy teams and improving processes around case tracking, quality control, backlog, and client operations. That background shapes the kind of systems I like to build: practical backend tools that enforce business rules, protect sensitive actions, and make operational work easier to manage.
- Building production-style backend APIs with Python and Flask
- Designing relational models with SQLAlchemy and PostgreSQL
- Implementing authentication, authorization, soft delete, audit logs, and workflow validation
- Writing integration tests with pytest
- Documenting projects like real engineering products, not just coding exercises
A backend API inspired by legal operations and immigration case management workflows.
It includes:
- JWT authentication
- Bcrypt password hashing
- Role-based authorization
- Client, user, and case management
- Case workflow stage validation
- Soft delete for cases
- Audit log tracking
- Filtering and pagination
- PostgreSQL development database
- SQLite test database
- Flask-Migrate / Alembic migrations
- Pytest integration tests
This project is designed to demonstrate backend architecture, database modeling, business rule enforcement, security fundamentals, and testing discipline.
Backend: Python, Flask, SQLAlchemy, Flask-JWT-Extended, Flask-Bcrypt Database: PostgreSQL, SQLite Testing: Pytest Tools: Git, GitHub, Alembic, Postman, PowerShell, Linux CLI Currently learning: Django, cloud deployment, CI/CD, API documentation, production hardening
I'm focused on backend engineering roles where I can combine software development with my previous experience in operations, workflow systems, process improvement, and team execution.
I care about writing backend systems that are:
- Clear
- Secure
- Tested
- Documented
- Maintainable
- Useful for real business operations
