What I'm looking for

I am looking for a remote role that values clean code, fosters innovation, and offers opportunities for mentorship and team growth.

I am a backend engineer with over 9 years of experience in building scalable products and leading engineering teams. My journey has been marked by designing systems capable of handling millions of users, optimizing cloud infrastructure, and reducing costs significantly. As a founding engineer and tech lead, I have successfully hired and mentored engineers while solving critical production issues, ensuring that the systems I build are reliable and easy to maintain.

Throughout my career, I have contributed to open-source projects and hold multiple patents in speech technology. My commitment to clean code and developer efficiency drives me to deliver software that exceeds expectations. I have led workshops on automation, AI, and developer tools, sharing my knowledge and passion for technology with others in the field.
