Software engineer building secure distributed cloud systems with AWS, Azure, and DevOps.
What I'm looking for
I’m a software engineer with 2+ years designing and delivering secure, mission-critical distributed systems at scale on AWS, with working knowledge of Azure. I’ve built production services supporting thousands of users, including identity/access and alert processing systems with uptime around 99.5%. I ground technical decisions in clear justification, observability, and data—especially when security and reliability matter.
My day-to-day blends backend engineering (C#, Python with FastAPI/Flask/Django, REST APIs) with cloud and operations—Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, and zero-downtime CI/CD using GitHub Actions. I’ve led live site reliability operations, RCA documentation, and cross-team design/code reviews, while applying cryptography and access control fundamentals like JWT authentication, role-based access control, OAuth 2.0, and RSA/AES concepts.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Designed secure, high-availability microservices for an identity and access management platform, implementing JWT authentication, RBAC, and PostgreSQL-backed data management (98.5% SLA). Built and operated distributed alert-processing services and automated CI/CD with GitHub Actions, Docker, Terraform, and Kubernetes to improve uptime and deployment speed.
OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server
Personal Project
Jul 2026 - Present (1 month)
Built a production-grade OAuth 2.0 authorization server using the authorization code flow with PKCE, issuing RSA-signed JWT access tokens with scope-based permission enforcement. Implemented token introspection and revocation with a Redis-backed token registry and deployed via FastAPI with Docker and GitHub Actions.
JWT Auth & Secrets Manager
Personal Project
Jun 2026 - Present (2 months)
Built a production-grade cryptographic service for secure API authentication, including RSA key generation, JWT signing/verification (RS256), and automated key rotation with encrypted secret storage. Added RBAC, rate limiting, audit logging, and Redis-based token blacklisting, deployed via FastAPI with Docker and GitHub Actions.
Distributed Rate Limiter & API Gateway
Personal Project
Oct 2025 - Present (10 months)
Designed a distributed API gateway implementing Redis-backed token bucket rate limiting with per-user and per-IP throttling. Added circuit breaker fault tolerance and observability via Grafana and Prometheus, packaged with Docker Compose and automated using GitHub Actions.
Secure File Encryption API
Personal Project
Mar 2025 - Present (1 year 5 months)
Built a file encryption service using AES-256-GCM and integrated it with Azure Blob Storage for persistent, cloud-native storage. Implemented per-user, role-based access control with integrity checks (HMAC), audit logging, and automated CI/CD with FastAPI, Docker, and GitHub Actions.
User Identity Management Dashboard
Designed and delivered a secure, distributed identity management system for enterprise users, implementing JWT authentication, RBAC, and PostgreSQL-backed data management with Redis caching. Built high-throughput REST APIs and automated testing to achieve strong security and unit/integration coverage.
