What I'm looking for

I seek roles focusing on cloud infrastructure, legacy modernization, and cost/observability-driven improvements at AI-forward, engineering-driven teams with strong CI/CD and automation practices.

I am a full-stack software engineer with 5+ years of experience delivering cloud infrastructure optimization, legacy application modernization, and distributed systems improvements across financial trading systems, SaaS platforms, and enterprise applications. I leverage automation and AI-powered development tools to accelerate delivery while maintaining production-grade quality and measurable business impact.

My recent work includes large-scale platform integrations, multi-account AWS cost reductions, EMR and Cassandra optimizations, and modernizing .NET ecosystems for zero-risk rollouts. I focus on pragmatic engineering, observability-driven decisions, and building reliable CI/CD and deployment practices that reduce operational overhead and improve performance.
