Technical team lead and senior backend engineer specializing in scalable distributed systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a Technical Team Lead and Senior Backend Engineer with 6+ years building scalable, high-availability systems for enterprise and government clients. I combine deep backend expertise with AI and computer vision experience to deliver robust, production-grade solutions.
At MasterWorks I led delivery for large government digital transformations, re-architected PostgreSQL layers, implemented multi-tiered Redis caching, and reduced query latency by 40%. I design distributed systems using Kafka, FRP, and secure networking to enable reliable cross-network communication.
Previously at Stratesfy I led end-to-end development of logistics and fintech platforms using the PERN stack, serverless AWS Lambda gateways, and containerized microservices. I have experience optimizing CI/CD pipelines and building integrations with high-volume external services.
I prioritize performance optimization, observability, and automation, and I enjoy integrating AI (GenAI, OCR, YOLOv8) into engineering workflows to accelerate testing and improve product capabilities.
