What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on building scalable systems, GenAI integrations, and reliable data pipelines in collaborative, agile teams with opportunities to mentor and improve observability and CI/CD.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with eight years building scalable backend and frontend systems across travel and healthcare, focused on distributed systems, ETL and streaming pipelines, and GenAI-powered retrieval systems. I modernize legacy platforms into low-latency microservices, design robust APIs, and build production data pipelines that process terabytes daily.

I leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery while maintaining performance, reliability, and maintainability within agile teams, and I routinely mentor engineers, improve observability, and own cloud infrastructure and CI/CD to enable safe, fast iterations.
