What I'm looking for
I’m a Staff Software Engineer who leads architecture and development of multi-channel platforms, helping sellers operate across Amazon, Shopify, eBay, and Walmart at scale.
I build distributed, event-driven microservices and low-latency APIs using Java, Go, Python, and Ruby—using Kafka with SNS/SQS and robust design patterns to improve real-time processing, responsiveness, and reliability.
I also drive modernization and operational excellence on AWS with ECS/Lambda/S3, Docker, and Terraform, strengthening observability and incident response through tools like Datadog and Prometheus. I bring a strong engineering leadership mindset—owning design reviews, mentoring teammates, and setting best practices.
