What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building cloud-native, AI/ML-enabled systems with strong DevOps practices, cross-functional leadership, and opportunities to modernize architectures and mentor teams.

I am a Senior Full Stack Python developer with 11+ years building large-scale, cloud-native systems across healthcare, fintech, and e-commerce. I specialize in architecting event-driven microservices, modernizing monoliths into resilient distributed platforms, and delivering production-grade LLM and AI/ML solutions.

My work includes designing high-throughput data pipelines with Kafka and Airflow, implementing microservices on AWS EKS, and automating CI/CD with Jenkins, GitLab CI, Docker, and Kubernetes to shorten deployment cycles and improve reliability. I have led cross-functional teams, mentored engineers, and enforced security and compliance practices like OAuth2.0, JWT, and HIPAA controls.

I am outcome-focused and pragmatic: I deliver measurable improvements such as reduced downtime, faster response times, and increased conversion through AI-driven features, while fostering Agile practices and raising team delivery capacity.
