What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, cloud-native systems where I can lead backend architecture, mentor engineers, and drive measurable user and performance improvements.

I am a passionate software engineer with over six years of experience designing and delivering scalable, high-performance backend systems and intuitive user interfaces, most recently at Amazon. I focus on translating complex requirements into efficient, maintainable solutions that improve user experience and system reliability.

My work spans backend microservices, real-time data pipelines, API design, and cloud-native architectures on AWS and Azure, with strong competency in Java, Node.js, Spring Boot, and container orchestration. I have driven measurable improvements such as sub-200ms API response times, sub-second metadata synchronization across 40+ regions, and 90%+ automated test coverage.

I value clear communication, collaboration, and mentorship, having guided junior engineers while implementing CI/CD, monitoring, and AI/ML-driven personalization features to increase user engagement and operational reliability.
