What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, cloud-native backend and real-time systems where I can integrate ML, improve reliability, and drive product impact.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years building high-performance backend systems, scalable microservices, and real-time data platforms using Python, Go, and Node.js. I design cloud-native applications on AWS, integrate ML models into production, and have delivered services used by millions of users.

My work spans distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and full-stack development—authoring recommendation platforms, stream-processing pipelines, and real-time dashboards. I prioritize reliability and automation, establishing CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments, and observability to drive product impact and measurable user engagement improvements.
