What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can design and ship scalable backend systems, improve performance and reliability, and use cloud/DevOps practices to turn real-world requirements into measurable impact.

I’m a Software Engineer passionate about building scalable, high-performance applications. I enhance system performance and optimize application efficiency by improving reliability, reducing latency, and strengthening architecture—whether refactoring legacy monoliths into microservices or designing new platforms from the ground up.

In recent roles, I’ve delivered production features like an escrow-based digital wallet and contract/job management portal, integrated payment workflows, and improved observability and throughput using async processing (e.g., AWS SQS/SNS). I also raised code quality by increasing test coverage to 85% and cut fraud through voice-based identity verification using Nuance APIs.
