What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for innovation, particularly in AI and cloud technologies.

I'm a results-driven Backend Developer with over six years of experience in designing scalable, high-performance backend systems. My expertise lies in microservices architecture, real-time data processing, and API security, with a strong focus on performance tuning and automation. I am passionate about leveraging AI and machine learning for predictive analytics, auto-scaling, and self-healing infrastructures, which I believe can significantly enhance backend efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have successfully designed and maintained high-performance APIs, deployed AI-powered auto-scaling infrastructures, and implemented real-time fraud detection models. My work at CodeFlow Solutions has led to a 50% reduction in latency and a 35% decrease in cloud expenses, showcasing my commitment to optimizing backend systems. I thrive in environments that challenge me to innovate and improve processes, and I am eager to bring my skills to a forward-thinking team.
