What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles where I can lead cloud-native, scalable systems, mentor teams, drive CI/CD and AI-enabled features, and deliver high-availability products in collaborative, outcome-driven environments.

I am a Senior Software Engineer and Team Lead with over a decade building scalable web and cloud applications across SaaS, healthcare, and insurance domains. I design and implement microservices, REST/GraphQL/gRPC APIs, event-driven architectures, and real-time systems using .NET, Python, Go, and modern frontend frameworks to deliver high-availability solutions.

I have led large re-architecture and modernization efforts, introduced AI-powered automation, and driven CI/CD and observability practices across Azure and AWS. I mentor engineers, run Agile ceremonies, and focus on maintainable, testable systems that scale to millions of daily requests while improving developer velocity and customer outcomes.
