Wrote and executed SQL queries against live Oracle SQL and MySQL environments to validate data and resolve query-level issues during troubleshooting. Built modular Python and Bash automation to reduce manual, repetitive tasks, cutting checklist processing time from 45 minutes to 10 minutes daily. Maintained clear technical documentation of fixes and issue resolutions to support faster troubleshooting and knowledge-sharing across teams. Collaborated with development teams during high-priority hotfix deployments, coordinating through structured change processes to maintain zero unplanned downtime.

Python Full Stack Developer Intern

SMECLabs

Jul 2024 - Feb 2025

Designed and shipped JWT-secured REST APIs with role-based access control using Python, Django, and Django REST Framework (DRF), enforcing endpoint-level permission boundaries across multiple user tiers on a live product. Built and integrated React-based frontend components with Django REST Framework backend APIs, working across the full stack. Resolved N+1 query bottlenecks using Django ORM's select_related and prefetch_related, cutting API response times on data-heavy endpoints by up to 40%. Integrated MySQL and MongoDB within a single application layer, managing schema divergence to support both relational and semi-structured data needs. Shipped features under strict Git/GitHub discipline (PR reviews, branch conventions, clean commit history) on a shared production codebase with zero merge-conflict regressions.
