What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build reliable, observable systems—shipping clean back-end services, owning CI/CD and Kubernetes, and improving performance with solid data modeling and monitoring.

I’m a back-end engineer and Linux systems generalist with 6+ years of experience designing, building, and deploying distributed systems at scale. I focus on the full server-side stack—from API development and database architecture to container orchestration and cloud infrastructure—so systems stay clean, maintainable, and reliable.

In recent freelance work, I architected microservice back-ends with Node.js and Python (FastAPI), serving 50k+ daily requests, and built CI/CD pipelines with GitLab CI and GitHub Actions. I also administer Debian/Ubuntu servers, tune Linux kernel parameters, and run monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana, while managing multi-node Kubernetes clusters for staging and production.
