About
Python/Django backend engineer with open-source experience upgrading Archivematica to Django 4.2 LTS, including resolving a tricky breaking change in datetime parsing by implementing a preservation-safe legacy timestamp conversion layer. Also built a cost-efficient, reproducible Small Language Model (Microsoft Phi-3) fine-tuning pipeline that turns CSV product data into a domain-specific searchable Q&A chatbot, with emphasis on memory optimization and overfitting prevention.
