What I'm looking for

I am looking for senior backend roles where I can lead system architecture, optimize performance and costs, mentor engineers, and deliver cloud-native, secure, production-grade systems.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 17+ years designing, building, and scaling backend systems using Java, Spring Boot, Node.js, and TypeScript, with strong cloud-native database experience.

I have a proven track record in performance optimization and cost reduction—examples include lowering Google Spanner monthly costs by USD 3,000+, reducing response times from ~2000ms to <500ms, and increasing email throughput by 60%—and leading architecture, CI/CD automation, and system integration efforts.

I mentor engineers, participate in hiring and technical interviews, lead distributed teams, and deliver secure, maintainable solutions across enterprise CMS, e-commerce, healthcare platforms, and media projects.
