What I'm looking for

I’m looking to own scalable backend and cloud infrastructure end to end—high availability, SRE observability with SLIs/SLOs, and cost optimization—while mentoring teams and delivering with autonomy and zero-regression quality.

I’m a Backend Engineer / DevOps Engineer who delivers scalable backend features with strong autonomy—implementing HTTP & WebSockets, zero-regression refactoring, and production-ready stability for high-concurrency launches (300,000+ CCU/Concurrent Users).

Across Ubisoft, Sloclap, SOPHIA GENETICS, and Stonal, I’ve architected automated load-testing and SRE observability (SLIs/SLOs, CloudWatch/Grafana/Prometheus/Loki), built CI/CD and infrastructure with Terraform/Helm/Kubernetes and AWS/Azure, and optimized costs with FinOps (over 50% DynamoDB savings).
