What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me technically and offers opportunities for growth in a collaborative environment.

I am a Senior Backend & Cloud Systems Engineer with a strong focus on building scalable cloud-native architectures using Go, Rust, and Python. My experience includes designing event-driven systems and serverless platforms, particularly on GCP and AWS. I have a proven track record of leading projects that generate significant revenue, such as the Adventory platform at TF1, which contributes over $200M annually.

Throughout my career, I have engineered high-performance backend systems, optimized infrastructure costs, and implemented robust monitoring solutions. My work on various platforms has not only improved scalability and reliability but also enhanced user experience through innovative features. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my technical skills to solve complex problems and drive impactful results.
