What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can build scalable microservices and customer-facing web apps, improve performance and reliability, and collaborate through strong code reviews. I want ownership of architecture migrations and shipping with solid CI/CD and testing.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience building scalable web applications and microservices. I focus on efficient, maintainable code and I enjoy leading development teams through clear engineering standards, thorough code reviews, and pair programming.

In recent roles at Spectrum and Bridgeline, I led customer-facing initiatives like a self-service portal and built real-time service-status experiences using WebSockets and GraphQL. I design and optimize backend services with Node.js/Express, NestJS, and Python (Django/FastAPI), improving performance (e.g., API performance by 40% and page load times by 35%) while migrating monolithic systems to microservices for scalability and resilience. I also ship with automated testing and CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Docker) and strengthen reliability and security through authentication/authorization and security audits.
