What I'm looking for

I’m looking to audit, secure, and scale production systems—especially AI-enabled apps—where I can own clean architecture, observability, and scalable deployment with Kubernetes and distributed-systems engineering.

I audit, secure, and scale AI-built apps for production, with 10+ years building and shipping production systems. I focus on clean architecture, security, observability, and scalable deployment to harden and scale what teams build fast with AI tools.

I’ve built production SDKs for CacheFly and real-time media pipelines at Paltalk, including WebRTC-powered video chat services using Go. I also design high-throughput ingestion and search pipelines (e.g., Elasticsearch) and implement core microservices like signaling and SFU.

As a CKA- Kubernetes certified engineer (Linux Foundation), I bring distributed-systems and Linux expertise to deploy reliably with Kubernetes and automation. From Terraform-based infrastructure-as-code to performance-focused database work, I take products to stable production grade with dependable engineering practices.
