What I'm looking for

I seek backend or platform roles where I can build reliable, high-performance cloud-native services, improve observability, and own end-to-end delivery in collaborative teams.

I am a Senior Backend Engineer with 9+ years building scalable, cloud-native microservices and APIs using Go and C#. I deliver high-performance, concurrency-safe services with robust observability, security practices, and deployment automation, owning services end-to-end from design to production operations.

My work has reduced latency and authorization defects through benchmarking, profiling, and least-privilege IAM patterns, and improved reliability with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and structured logging. I collaborate across distributed teams to improve CI/CD, infrastructure as code with Terraform, and resilient event-driven architectures.
