What I'm looking for

I seek senior technical roles where I can lead platform engineering, drive scalable backend and SRE practices, mentor teams, and deliver measurable impact in a collaborative, growth-focused company.

I am a seasoned software engineer with 20+ years of experience and over a decade leading hands-on development teams, focused on architecting scalable, high-performance backend systems using Python and modern frameworks. I combine strong SRE practices with cloud expertise to deliver robust, production-ready solutions on AWS.

My career includes leading API-first B2B SaaS platforms, designing ETL pipelines and analytics solutions, and driving platform migrations with zero downtime. I have a proven track record of mentoring engineers, unifying teams, and improving developer productivity through CI/CD, automation, and monitoring.

I thrive on solving complex cross-functional challenges, fostering a culture of ownership and continuous improvement, and delivering measurable business impact such as faster time-to-market, cost reductions, and enhanced data reliability.
