What I'm looking for

I have driven architectural modernization for EdTech platforms handling over 13 million daily requests, delivering measurable improvements in performance, cost reduction, and reliability.

I led cross-impact engineering efforts that produced 35% performance gains, 20% infrastructure cost reductions, and a 25% improvement in software quality by implementing Gitflow, CI/CD, C4/ADR documentation, and enhanced security practices. I excel at aligning technical execution with business goals, building resilient, observable systems, and mentoring engineering teams to adopt best practices.
