What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on cloud-native backend or platform engineering where I can improve system reliability, automate infrastructure, and drive secure, scalable services.

I am a passionate software engineer with extensive experience building, deploying, and maintaining large-scale distributed systems and cloud services, primarily on AWS. I focus on end-to-end system design, data-driven reliability engineering, and infrastructure automation to deliver secure, high-performance platforms.

At Amazon, I have architected observability services, led zero-downtime cross-region migrations for high-throughput services, and improved CI/CD pipelines using AWS CDK and CloudFormation. I routinely design and execute load, chaos, and resilience testing and automate recovery workflows to restore production data and improve SLAs.

I take ownership of security and compliance workstreams, implementing GDPR-compliant workflows and participating in AppSec reviews. I combine a strong backend and data-systems foundation with practical cloud-native engineering to reduce costs, improve resilience, and accelerate reliable delivery.
