What I'm looking for

I seek a role building cloud-native, scalable backend systems with ownership, mentorship opportunities, and measurable performance impact in a collaborative, fast-paced team.

I am a software engineer with over six years building scalable backend systems and intuitive front-end experiences, most recently at Amazon where I focused on streaming and e-commerce platforms.

I deliver measurable results—improving Prime Video start times by 25%, maintaining sub-200ms API responses, and helping achieve 99.99% uptime during peak events.

I translate complex requirements into maintainable microservices, optimize performance to reduce infrastructure costs, and prioritize clear communication, mentorship, and agile collaboration to ship reliable features quickly.
