What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, highly available backend or full-stack systems where I can lead reliability, mentor engineers, and apply AI/ML tooling to reduce operational load.

I am a senior software engineer with extensive experience building reliable, high-throughput backend and full-stack systems for large consumer platforms. I have led work on order fulfillment and delivery reliability at a major rideshare/food platform and developed booking and marketplace features at a global travel marketplace, focusing on performance, availability, and developer experience.

My strengths include designing distributed backend services, shipping AI/ML-enabled internal tools, and improving release quality through testing and CI/CD. I mentor engineers, drive operational excellence, and consistently deliver measurable improvements in latency, availability, and investigation time across high-traffic production services.
