What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build scalable, maintainable enterprise systems—owning backend performance, distributed architecture, and AI-enabled workflows—while collaborating in remote, cross-functional teams with strong engineering rigor and mentorship.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience building enterprise-grade systems across Python3, Java, Rust, TypeScript, and Go. I focus on debugging complex codebases, performance optimization, and refactoring large-scale distributed systems to keep them maintainable and production-ready.

In my recent role, I built backend services using Python3 and Go, implementing REST APIs and microservices for internal USA workflows and AI pipelines. I optimized query performance across distributed PostgreSQL clusters serving 10+ million daily requests, and I integrated OpenAI API and LangChain to deliver data preprocessing and workflow automation while advising on LLM inference architecture.

I also build end-to-end experiences by developing React and TypeScript frontend applications with strong testing practices (95% test coverage using Jest and Cypress). I’ve implemented event-driven messaging and caching with RabbitMQ and Redis, reduced latency by 40% through algorithm-level optimizations, and led code reviews while mentoring 6 mid-level engineers on architecture, debugging, and scalable engineering practices.
