What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable cloud-native and AI-enabled backends with strong security and observability, in teams that value mentorship and engineering excellence.

I am a senior software engineer with extensive experience designing and operating high-scale cloud-native systems, primarily on Azure and AWS. I have architected services handling tens of thousands of requests per second, implemented distributed caching, and standardized IaC to achieve high availability and low latency.

I build AI-enabled middleware and integrations—using FastAPI, LangChain, and Azure OpenAI—to deliver domain-specific insights and reduce model hallucination, and I modernize identity and security with OAuth2/OpenID Connect and RBAC for multi-tenant environments. I also design cross-platform interoperability solutions using gRPC and sidecar patterns to bridge legacy and modern stacks.

I mentor engineers in Clean Architecture and SOLID principles, lead migrations and observability efforts that improve reliability and compliance (HIPAA/GDPR), and consistently drive performance and cost improvements across databases, caching, and asynchronous service patterns.
