Python Backend Engineer | Technical Author & Speaker | Founder @ Lexoga
📋 Biography
I’m a backend engineer with a deep love for Python. I’ve been fortunate to share my work at conferences like PyCon US, DjangoCon US, EuroPython, PyCascades, and GraphQL Summit. I currently lead backend engineering at Lexoga, a platform I co-founded to help early-stage startups hire exceptional engineers. Outside of work, I write a newsletter called “Python in the Wild”, where I explore real-world Python concepts and patterns from open-source projects. I enjoy contributing to the developer community - through talks, writing, and, mentoring.

The talk explored the free-threaded mode which was introduced in Python 3.13. A free-threaded interpreter was set-up using the latest Python 3.14 release candidate and benchmarking was done against the GIL-enabled version for various tasks. The session assessed the impact on single-threaded vs multithreaded code and test the performance across CPU-bound and I/O-bound tasks, aiming to identify scenarios where free-threaded Python excels.
Deep Dive Python explains advanced Python concepts using real world open source code from popular Python repositories. Topics covered include core data structures, typing, generators, iterators, the itertools module, multithreading, multiprocessing, and asyncio - with examples of how they are applied in production-level code.
The article written on my blog covers my Pycon US experience as well as the opinion of Python experts on AI's capabilities in software engineering.
I authored the article on Thread Safety for Real Python - the leading website for educational Python content.
