What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles focused on cloud-native platforms, DevOps/SRE, or data systems where I can lead scalable infrastructure, optimize costs, and improve reliability.

I am a senior-level software and platform engineering professional with 20 years of experience designing, developing, and managing scalable software solutions and cloud infrastructure.

I specialize in DevOps and cloud (AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD) and backend development (Golang, Java, Python), with strong data engineering experience using Spark and ETL pipelines.

I have delivered high-performance, cost-effective solutions across AdTech (DSP/SSP, RTB, CTV) and led remote teams to build production systems, observability stacks, and automated CI/CD pipelines.

I focus on measurable performance improvements, cost optimization, and reliable platform operations, and I collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to ship robust systems.
