I am a seasoned Lead Backend Engineer with over eight years of experience delivering large-scale, high-performance systems for global companies. I specialize in designing complex architectures, transitioning monoliths to microservices, and implementing event-driven, scalable solutions.

At Upwork I led architecture and end-to-end delivery for major backend systems, authored low-level design documents, integrated AI-assisted development tools, and participated in on-call incident resolution. I emphasize code quality through rigorous reviews, automated testing, and engineering best practices.

Previously, at Indeed and Boutiqaat.com, I redesigned notification and recommendation systems using Kafka, ElasticSearch, and caching strategies, improving throughput and reducing processing times. I have hands-on experience coding core services in Java and Python and optimizing databases for high-volume workloads.

I mentor and manage engineering teams, facilitate cross-functional collaboration with product stakeholders, and provide risk and trade-off analysis for architectural decisions. I am committed to scalable, maintainable systems that meet business goals and improve team productivity.
