What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead backend architecture for high-throughput, distributed systems—building event-driven Node.js microservices in cloud environments. I want ownership from requirements through deployment, and to thrive in fast-moving globally distributed teams.

I’m a results-driven Lead Backend Engineer with 5+ years of experience architecting high-throughput, distributed systems for production scale. I built a Twilio-class CPaaS platform from the ground up—owning the full backend lifecycle from requirements and architecture to deployment and client integration, including multi-tenant number provisioning and real-time billing.

I specialize in Node.js microservices and event-driven pipelines using RabbitMQ, Kafka, and AWS SQS, with queue-based failover and reliable DLR handling. In my recent work, I’m processing 7M+ messages per day, delivering a Twilio-style REST API layer, and end-to-end owning Stripe integration, webhook orchestration, and data-consistency patterns across services.
