I’m looking for a role where I can build reliable, scalable products with a collaborative engineering team. I enjoy backend engineering, system design, and automation, working with tools like Ruby on Rails, Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, and AWS. I value ownership, maintainable code, and consistent delivery.

AWS Certified Senior Engineer with 7+ years of experience. Expert in Ruby on Rails, React, and AWS cloud migrations.
What I'm looking for
thousands of businesses globally. I specialize in Ruby on Rails, Node.js, React, and TypeScript, with strong experience designing scalable systems on AWS using Docker, ECS, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code tools like AWS CDK and Terraform.
In my current role as a Senior Software Engineer, I work across product, infrastructure, and automation. From modernizing Rails applications and migrating databases to implementing AI-driven automation tools. Previously, I helped migrate legacy Rails systems to modern architectures, built serverless features on AWS, and contributed to performance improvements that reduced downtime and accelerated release cycles.
I’ve also built open-source tools, including a Ruby gem for integrating the PayFast payment gateway (2,000+ downloads), and webhook-based automation services. I enjoy solving real business problems with pragmatic engineering solutions and simplifying complex systems wherever possible.
Outside of work, I enjoy tennis, chess, and building small experimental software projects.
