What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and allows me to leverage my skills in back-end development while contributing to impactful projects.

Senior Software Engineer with 7 years of professional experience, strong mathematical foundation and proven experience in developing and running mission-critical global application services seeking an impactful Remote Role (US Timezone preferred) in an AI-first startup. I take ownership beyond traditional development boundaries, from mentoring cross-cultural teams and shaping agile processes to ensuring production stability and bridging technical solutions with business objectives. As a Digital Nomad, I value flexible hours and opportunities for technical or managerial leadership.

My biggest professional achievement was independently designing and implementing comprehensive automated pipelines at Home Credit, which transformed our development workflow by generating DTOs, executing tests, and producing detailed reports and code quality analyses. This initiative reduced release cycle time by 15%, a proactive approach I also applied when providing the basis for swagger documentation and unit testing at CGI and introducing optimizations for big datasets at Orchestr8, consistently leading to more robust and efficient systems.
