Profile: https://flows.cv/borko

As a Staff Software Engineer at Monitaur, I have over twelve years of experience in developing and deploying scalable and robust API and data solutions for various clients. I have built data ingestion pipelines, ETL orchestration platforms, APIs, and front-end interfaces using technologies such as Python, Snowflake, Airbyte, Django, Celery, and VueJS. 

I have also leveraged my skills in infrastructure as code, terraform, docker, and AWS ECS to support the data infrastructure and DevOps processes. I enjoy working with cutting-edge tools and frameworks, contributing to open source projects, and solving complex data challenges. My goal is to enable data-driven decision making and insights for businesses and organizations.
