I am a Senior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in cloud-native, AI-integrated enterprise applications.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer with 10+ years building scalable, enterprise-grade applications across frontend and backend. I specialize in cloud-native architectures on Azure, AWS, and GCP.
I've designed and deployed microservices and containerized platforms using Docker and Kubernetes, and introduced DevSecOps pipelines that improved code quality and security compliance. I led AI/ML integrations including OpenAI APIs and TensorFlow models for predictive insights and generative report automation that cut reporting time by 60%.
I mentor engineers, lead code reviews, and enforce SOLID and domain-driven design across product teams. I have improved realtime systems (reducing latency by 35%), increased regression coverage to 90%, and accelerated developer onboarding through Docker-based local environments.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and seek opportunities to architect cloud-native solutions, drive measurable business outcomes, and grow engineering teams through mentorship and modern practices.
