What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, cloud-native, event-driven systems with strong DevOps practices, collaborative teams, and opportunities to improve performance and reliability.

I am a highly motivated Senior Software Engineer with extensive full-stack experience building scalable, reliable applications using React, Node.js, Python, and AWS. I focus on cloud-native architectures, microservices, and event-driven systems to deliver performant user experiences.

At Twilio and Amazon I improved real-time video and streaming platforms by leveraging WebRTC, AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, SQS), Docker, and Kubernetes, and by implementing robust CI/CD, testing, and documentation practices. I collaborate closely with UX/UI and cross-functional teams to ensure responsive, intuitive products.

I am passionate about optimizing performance and reliability, migrating services to microservices and serverless architectures, and applying modern DevOps practices to accelerate delivery while maintaining high quality.
