What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, Agile team role building cloud-native, data-driven full-stack systems with opportunities for technical leadership and impact.

I am an experienced software engineer with 6+ years designing and delivering scalable, high-performance enterprise applications. I focus on balancing business needs with robust architecture, security (OWASP), and measurable performance improvements.

I build full-stack solutions using Python (Django, Flask, FastAPI), Java, Node.js, React and Angular, and optimize databases and data pipelines across SQL and NoSQL platforms. I have delivered API-first backends and responsive front-ends that reduced latency and improved user experience.

I have substantial cloud and DevOps experience with AWS, Docker, CI/CD (Jenkins, GitHub, Azure DevOps), and automation that shortened release cycles and lowered manual effort. I also deploy data processing solutions using Glue, Kinesis, Spark and ETL pipelines to consolidate large datasets.

I thrive in Agile/Scrum teams, collaborate cross-functionally, and apply systems thinking and OOP to simplify complex systems. My work emphasizes reliability, test coverage, monitoring, and delivering features that drive measurable impact.
