# Bahia Murad

> Python Developer | Integration & Automation Engineer

Location: London, England, United Kingdom
Profile: https://flows.cv/bahia

Python & Java developer specialising in integration and automation. I build production-ready API workflows (REST/SOAP), data pipelines and reporting-ready datasets using Python, FastAPI/Django, SQL, Azure, Databricks and Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains). I also build end-to-end applications (backend + frontend), from data model and APIs through to UI and deployment. Experienced integrating new third-party systems quickly, building reliable connectors to business platforms and APIs (e.g., Bullhorn, Microsoft 365/Graph API) and delivering end-to-end: requirements → build → testing → release, with a focus on reliability, data quality and measurable time savings.
