What I'm looking for

I seek backend-focused roles where I can improve performance and reliability, work with Rails and scalable systems, and contribute to clean architecture and strong testing practices.

I am a software engineer specializing in backend development and performance optimization, with a strong focus on Ruby on Rails and scalable system design. I deliver maintainable solutions from concept to production while prioritizing efficiency and clean architecture.

At LexisNexis Risk Solutions, I migrated legacy apps to Rails 7, implemented Sidekiq workflows, tuned databases and servers, and achieved measurable improvements in API response times, background job throughput, and test coverage.

I bring hands-on experience in SQL optimization, Redis caching, Hotwire/Turbo Streams integration, CI/CD, and observability tools, and I enjoy building reusable components and reliable systems that perform under heavy load.
