What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build and scale secure cloud-native backends, lead CI/CD and observability efforts, work with cross-functional teams, and continue growing in cloud and platform engineering.

I am a results-driven Senior Backend Engineer with over 5 years of experience designing and building scalable, secure backend systems for fintech and analytics environments. I am an AWS-certified developer who has optimized performance, improved reliability, and implemented CI/CD and observability to maintain high uptime and faster releases.

My background includes containerizing applications with Docker, streamlining deployments with GitHub Actions and Jenkins, and developing scalable APIs using PHP, Node.js, Python, Laravel and NestJS. I have reduced deployment time substantially, hardened server configurations, and delivered systems that handle heavy loads while improving monitoring and data-handling efficiency.
