SENIOR PYTHON ENGINEER • FEB 2023 – JAN 2025 GoCardless • Riga, Latvia Developed features for large-scale applications using Django and microservices in Flask. At GoCardless, I enhanced Python/Django skills by optimizing for high transaction volumes, improving service reliability, and implementing horizontal scaling. Utilized debugging tools (PDB, PySpy) to identify performance bottlenecks and improve efficiency. Optimized concurrency with Celery tasks, workers, and thread pools. Improved service observability by tracking metrics with Prometheus and visualizing them on Grafana dashboards, which directly supported SLI/SLO improvements. Set up proactive alerts to detect potential incidents early, reducing the risk of larger service disruptions. SOFTWARE DEVELOPER • MAY 2018 – JAN 2023 "Uzbek Industrial and Construction Bank" JSCB • Tashkent While working at the bank, I developed a Telegram chatbot using Python's aiohttp and asyncio libraries, enabling dynamic surveys and questionnaire forms through an admin panel. The chatbot integrated with the bank's systems to provide services such as checking account balances, retrieving the latest transactions, and conducting preliminary loan application scoring. I also created a payment gateway using the Django framework, allowing corporate clients to seamlessly integrate payment functionalities into their platforms. Additionally, I implemented Python-based services to deliver real-time currency exchange rates to third-party systems, automating the update process from the bank’s internal systems. Throughout these projects, I leveraged Python’s concurrency features to ensure scalability and efficiency. I also built and deployed the payment gateway, creating a robust CI/CD pipeline to streamline development, testing, and deployment processes.WWWWExperienced Software Engineer adept in bringing forth expertise in design, building, testing, deploying, optimizing and maintenance of software systems.
