What I'm looking for

I seek platform- or DX-focused roles where I can improve developer experience, build internal platforms, and drive reliable, observable cloud-native systems.

I am a platform-focused software engineer with 10+ years designing and operating cloud-native systems and internal developer tooling.

I have strong hands-on experience with TypeScript, Python, Go, Terraform, and AWS, and I build developer portals, CLI utilities, and platform automation to streamline onboarding and developer workflows.

My work emphasizes observability, operational excellence, and reliability — I’ve implemented OpenTelemetry, Datadog, Prometheus, and Grafana integrations and supported on-call rotations to maintain uptime.

I collaborate asynchronously and remotely, contribute to documentation and runbooks, and leverage AI-assisted tools to boost code quality while improving local development environments and platform scalability.
