What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior engineering roles building cloud-native, API-driven systems with strong CI/CD, observability, and security practices in collaborative teams that value mentorship and measurable impact.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 10 years of experience building web and mobile applications, focused on scalable backend systems and high-performance APIs.

I design and implement backend services (notably using Go) and RESTful APIs, and I optimize deployment pipelines across multi-cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure) using Docker, Kubernetes and Terraform to improve reliability and cost efficiency.

I champion CI/CD automation and observability—implementing Jenkins-driven pipelines, Prometheus/Grafana monitoring, Redis caching, and SOC 2–aligned security practices—while conducting code reviews and mentoring peers to raise engineering standards.

I document architecture and processes to accelerate onboarding and cross-team collaboration, and I pursue pragmatic technical improvements that reduce release friction and improve system performance.
