What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership or senior technical role where I can drive scalable cloud-native architectures, improve reliability, mentor engineers, and align engineering outcomes with business impact.

I am a software engineering leader with 9+ years building high-scale cloud-native systems, modernizing legacy platforms into resilient microservices, and aligning engineering work with business priorities.

I have led cross-functional teams to deliver high-throughput systems — modernizing monoliths to microservices, architecting Kafka-based syncs for millions of records, and building observability and CI/CD practices that dramatically reduced failures and rollout times.

I mentor engineers on TDD and contract testing, simplify architectures for long-term maintainability, and drive measurable outcomes such as 90% fewer API failures, sub-minute CI/CD rollouts, and improved system reliability during peak traffic.
