Software engineer focused on backend performance, scalable systems, and reliable production delivery.
What I'm looking for
I am a software engineer specializing in backend development and system performance, with a proven track record migrating legacy systems, optimizing databases, and delivering maintainable production services.
At LexisNexis and Northrop Grumman I improved API response times, implemented Sidekiq workflows, tuned PostgreSQL queries, and applied Redis caching to reduce load and latency. I also integrated Hotwire/Turbo Streams for dynamic UIs and maintained high test coverage with RSpec and Capybara.
I prioritize clean architecture, measurable performance improvements, and reliable deployments, leveraging Docker, CI/CD, AWS/Heroku, and monitoring tools to keep systems efficient and resilient.
