What I'm looking for

Looking for a team where I can keep building and optimizing microservices and event-driven systems in the cloud owning performance improvements, zero-downtime migrations, scalable infrastructure, and reliable delivery pipelines. Ideally a product company with strong engineering culture, where I can grow into more architecture-level ownership over time.

Backend Software Engineer with 4 years of experience, currently working remotely at Toluna building distributed systems in .NET/C#.

My main focus is performance and reliability at scale redesigning systems that struggle under load, fixing caching and database bottlenecks, and migrating legacy infrastructure to modern cloud setups. At Toluna, I redesigned our survey platform to handle a 15x increase in traffic, rewrote our Redis caching layer to cut database load by 60%, and migrated our backend to AWS, reducing hosting costs by 40%.

Before Toluna, I spent two years at CarWale (CarTrade Tech) working on high-traffic systems lead distribution for thousands of dealers, a WhatsApp-based customer support bot, and payment infrastructure.

I work primarily with .NET, PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, and AWS, and I'm currently learning Go. I'm also building Healthycron, a distributed cron job monitoring tool, as a side project.I've been working fully remote since late 2024 and I'm looking for remote backend roles, ideally SDE-2 level, at product companies.
