What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building cloud-native, secure, data-driven systems where I can lead backend architecture, mentor teams, and drive scalable CI/CD and observability.

I am a Golang and Python engineer with over 12 years building scalable, secure, cloud-native applications for commercial and government clients. I design backend APIs and microservices, integrate frontend frameworks, lead CI/CD and observability efforts, and embed AI/ML features to improve performance and decision-making.

I have driven measurable improvements—reducing CPU utilization, enabling sub-second validations, and handling millions of events daily—while mentoring teams, enforcing compliance, and delivering cross-platform solutions across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
