What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles focused on platform and distributed systems where I can build scalable tooling, improve observability, mentor teams, and use AI-assisted workflows to accelerate reliable delivery.

I am a platform-minded senior software engineer with 10+ years designing and operating distributed systems, microservice architectures, and data platforms for production environments. I build foundational tooling and frameworks that scale across teams, improve observability, and keep complex systems reliable while leveraging AI-assisted workflows to accelerate delivery.

I have led greenfield builds, assumed DevOps ownership during staffing gaps with zero production incidents, and mentored engineers on architecture and database design. Notable achievements include architecting an error-handling framework adopted across 40+ microservices, delivering repeatable API testing frameworks, and modernizing legacy systems into reliable, documented services.
