What I'm looking for

I seek backend/cloud roles where I can build scalable, reliable systems, automate infrastructure, work with Kubernetes, and grow in distributed systems and SRE practices.

I am a backend-focused software engineer with hands-on experience designing, building, and operating scalable API-driven systems and cloud-native infrastructure. I currently work at Cisco, automating large-scale infrastructure with Python, operating containerized workloads on Kubernetes/OpenShift, and designing reliable backend workflows for production systems.

I have built production-ready projects such as Chatter, a real-time chat application demonstrating microservices, event-driven messaging, and high-availability architecture, and Proco, a document summarization system integrating OpenAI models and vector search. I focus on backend engineering, distributed systems, observability, and automation, and I follow Agile and DevOps practices while collaborating across cross-functional teams.
