I’m a Senior Software Engineer specializing in scalable serverless and full‑stack systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Engineer with deep experience building scalable, user-focused systems using React, TypeScript, Node.js, and AWS. I design and implement full‑stack features that measurably increase engagement and satisfaction.
At my current role I built a two‑way messaging platform that boosted user engagement by 40% and led a migration from a monolith to serverless microservices that cut infrastructure costs by 35%.
I develop resilient microservices and observability practices—achieving 99.99% uptime, reducing latency by 30%, and implementing testing frameworks that drove 90% coverage and far fewer production bugs.
Previously at Amazon I worked on Prime Video backend systems, improved playback quality with an adaptive bitrate algorithm, built a recommendation engine that increased engagement, and scaled data pipelines to process millions of records per day.
