What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can design scalable cloud-native backend systems and distributed, event-driven pipelines—partnering on reliability, performance tuning, and observability while continuously improving architecture in production.

I’m a software engineer with 12+ years of experience building scalable backend systems, cloud-native applications, and data-driven platforms. I focus on distributed systems design, high-performance APIs, and reliable, fault-tolerant services in fast-paced environments.

At AWS, I’ve optimized infrastructure to reduce cost by 100k$/year and built scalable data pipelines using AWS services (Lambda, S3, DynamoDB) to process large spatial datasets. I also led engineering work that improved reliability, scalability, and deployment speed, while prototyping AI-powered automation workflows and LLM-driven internal tools.

Previously at Amazon, I engineered backend systems for Prime Video Live Events and supported millions of concurrent users with low-latency streaming. I’ve also delivered real-time logistics and forecasting capabilities processing millions of delivery events per day using AWS Lambda and SQS, strengthening observability and incident response with CloudWatch metrics and automated alerting.
