I am a Software Architect at EPAM Systems with over 14 years of experience building scalable systems, developer tools, and robust backend platforms. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of building and leading multiple teams across diverse domains, from data engineering to cloud-native applications to agentic ai systems. I have conducted 1000+ interviews in last 3-4 years for various levels and positions. I specialize in advanced Python development, and I am deeply involved in the open-source ecosystem. I love sharing knowledge and mutual learnings as a frequent speaker at PyCon India, PyCon Singapore, Python Asia, and PyConf Hyderabad. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring the intersection of technology and creativity, from AI and developer experience tooling to mapping out ideas through Computational Cartography, or building hobby projects with Circuit Python and microcontrollers. If you share a passion for clean coding, engineering leadership, or just want to exchange ideas, I would love to connect. Let's collaborate, learn from each other, and potentially embark on exciting projects together!
