What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles where I can build scalable, real-time systems, contribute to full-stack engineering, and improve CI/CD and observability in collaborative teams.

I am a software engineer with 7+ years building high-performance, scalable systems and real-time web applications across web, mobile, and desktop platforms. I specialize in backend services using Go and Python, and modern frontend architectures with TypeScript and React, and have a track record of optimizing infrastructure, automating CI/CD, and enabling real-time collaboration for millions of users.

At Linear I built microservices powering real-time collaboration, owned PostgreSQL and Redis performance tuning, automated GitHub Actions pipelines, and managed GCP infrastructure with Kubernetes and observability via OpenTelemetry and Prometheus. Previously at Uber I developed event-driven Python services with Kafka, built TypeScript + React interfaces, and integrated Apollo GraphQL for type-safe data fetching and optimistic UI.
