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

Full-stack Software Developer with 3+ years building and shipping production applications in FCA/PRA-regulated FinTech. I specialise in Python, Django REST Framework, and event-driven microservices on AWS — taking features from API design to cloud deployment.
 
My work includes building AI agents using AWS Bedrock to automate complaint resolution (40% reduction in manual handling), developing serverless microservices with Lambda and SNS, and delivering full-stack applications with React.js frontends backed by PostgreSQL APIs — all within PCI-DSS compliant environments.
 
I write clean, tested code (pytest), ship via CI/CD, and bring cloud depth. AWS Certified x4.
