What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a backend or infrastructure engineering role where I can design scalable systems, work with modern DevOps tooling, and contribute to production-critical services. I value clean architecture, ownership, and teams that prioritize technical excellence and reliability. Remote-first environments with strong async culture are ideal.

I'm a backend and infrastructure engineer with over 5 years of experience building and scaling production-grade systems. My core strengths lie in Go, TypeScript, Kubernetes, and cloud-native DevOps. I’ve led the development of SaaS platforms, real-time communication systems, and AI-integrated services across startups and long-term client engagements.

As a co-founder at FYNOVA LABS LLP, I manage everything from architecture and container orchestration to CI/CD automation and infrastructure reliability. I’ve also delivered backend solutions for high-throughput AI inference systems and real-time chat platforms using gRPC, Redis, and AKS.

I’m passionate about system design, observability, automation, and building reliable infrastructure that scales. Outside of engineering, I enjoy mentoring developers and exploring emerging tools in the cloud-native and AI space.
