What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior role where I can own scalable architecture, build reliable microservices and data processing, and use AI-augmented workflows to ship faster—while staying focused on performance, observability, and cost control.

I’m a full-stack engineer with 15+ years of experience designing and building scalable web platforms, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and high-volume data processing solutions. I focus on system architecture, performance, reliability, and cost optimization to keep products fast and dependable as they scale.

In recent roles, I’ve built planning and analytics systems processing billions of records using Node.js/TypeScript and microservice architectures, including high-performance analytics with ClickHouse/OLAP. I’ve also developed backend services for route optimization and clinic management, using microservices, dynamic scaling, and strong observability to handle demanding workloads efficiently.

I’m particularly proud of integrating AI-augmented development into day-to-day delivery—using LLM-based tooling (e.g., Claude) and internal platforms to accelerate code generation, review, testing, and documentation while maintaining engineering standards and architectural consistency. I also hold a MongoDB Certified Developer Associate (C100DEV) credential.
