What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can architect scalable cloud-native APIs and microservices on AWS, deliver production-ready full-stack/platform systems, and collaborate cross-functionally with a strong focus on reliability and maintainability.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 11+ years of experience building scalable full-stack and backend systems, with a focus on Node.js, TypeScript, Python, and AWS-based cloud architectures. I turn product requirements into production-ready systems while balancing engineering tradeoffs and business goals.

At PROLIFICS, I architect scalable backend systems and API layers and design GraphQL and REST APIs to unify data access across microservices. I build AWS-deployed microservices with Docker and CI/CD pipelines, optimize PostgreSQL and MongoDB performance for high-throughput workloads, and integrate AI-driven workflow systems with backend services.

Previously at CODE POWER, I developed scalable backend services and built RESTful and GraphQL APIs for enterprise systems. I implemented microservice-based architectures using containerized deployments on AWS, created data processing and analytics pipelines with Flask and FastAPI, and improved observability with structured logging and monitoring.

Earlier at CLASSWALLET, I developed secure backend services for financial transaction workflows, including REST APIs for payment processing and authentication/authorization using RBAC principles. I also bring a strong engineering foundation from unit/integration testing practices and certifications including AWS Certified Developer – Associate and Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate.
