Senior Software Developer with expertise in backend systems and cloud infrastructure.
United StatesAs a Senior Software Developer with over 15 years of experience, I specialize in backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and API architecture. My journey has been marked by a strong focus on product development, where I have successfully designed compliant solutions for enterprise environments. I take pride in my expertise in Kubernetes orchestration and database technologies, which has allowed me to lead architectural transformations and contribute to open-source projects.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated leadership in various roles, including my current position at IBM Cloud, where I transitioned our database services to a FedRAMP compliant infrastructure. My ability to manage complex projects, such as the Credential Rotation project for PCI compliance, showcases my commitment to security and efficiency. I am passionate about mentoring others and have actively contributed to the development of open-source tools that empower my team and the broader community.
