What I'm looking for

I seek a senior engineering role on a collaborative, product-focused team where I can lead technical improvements, mentor engineers, and build secure, scalable cloud-native systems.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience building secure, scalable, and user-centric web applications using React.js, Node.js, Java, and cloud platforms. I own full application lifecycles from design through deployment and have a strong focus on performance, security, and reliability.

At recent roles I architected and optimized RESTful APIs, migrated monoliths to microservices, and deployed scalable cloud solutions using AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes—improvements that increased user engagement, reduced support tickets, and improved uptime. I also mentor junior engineers and collaborate closely with product, QA, and DevOps to deliver high-quality features on time.

I seek to contribute my technical leadership, hands-on development skills, and cloud expertise to impactful engineering teams focused on delivering reliable, high-performance products.
