I'm a self-taught backend developer focused on Python. I'm building a solid foundation in software development while working on personal projects, improving my Git workflow, and applying to freelance opportunities and entry-level jobs.

• 🐍 Python (intermediate): scripting, OOP, modules, error handling, file I/O
• 📡 Data & Automation: web scraping, APIs, data parsing, email notifications
• 🧰 Tools & Practices: Git, GitHub, CLI, Markdown, virtual environments
• 🗃️ Databases: SQLite, basic SQL, storage and retrieval with Python
• 🛠️ Under Study: Django, MySQL, software design patterns, testing

I’m currently working on three main repositories:

• scraping-bot: a modular Python scraper with storage, logging, and email alerts
• developer-roadmap: a JSON-based study planner with CLI interaction
• developer-profile: a structured JSON-based profile for tailoring job applications

All projects follow clean directory structures, use virtual environments, and aim to be testable and maintainable.

• Advanced Python concepts (decorators, context managers, async)
• Django fundamentals for real-world backend development
• Writing robust, scalable, and readable code
• Applying version control and documentation best practices

• 🧭 Self-discipline: I follow structured routines and study plans
• 🏗️ Consistency: I build small improvements every week
• 🎯 Autonomy: I can research, design, implement, and debug without external supervision
• 🔍 Critical thinker: I like understanding the “why” behind decisions
• 🔁 Growth mindset: I’m not afraid to start small and iterate fast

Opportunities to contribute to real-world Python projects — especially in:

• Back-end automation
• Data pipelines
• Scripting and scraping
• Entry-level developer roles
• Freelance gigs aligned with my current stack
