Winston Lin

Backend developer building scalable systems and APIs with Python, PostgreSQL, and AWS. I specialize in designing APIs, optimizing database performance, and deploying cloud infrastructure.

My approach emphasizes clean, maintainable code and pragmatic solutions. I believe in understanding the problem deeply before writing code, and I'm always learning new technologies to stay current.

Currently looking for opportunities to work on challenging backend problems with great teams.
