What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles where I can architect cloud-native systems, lead teams, deliver scalable microservices, and improve reliability via DevOps and CI/CD in collaborative, impact-driven environments.

I am a results-driven Senior Full Stack Software Engineer and Architect with over 20 years designing and delivering scalable, cloud-native software solutions across healthcare, gaming, hardware manufacturing and enterprise SaaS. I specialize in Python, TypeScript, React, Node.js and .NET Core, and I consistently implement microservices, RESTful APIs, CI/CD pipelines and event-driven architectures to improve reliability and performance.

I have led architecture and full-stack delivery for global analytics and healthcare platforms, mentored developers, and optimized deployments and system performance using Azure and AWS ecosystems. My work includes refactoring legacy systems, building ETL pipelines and integrating authentication, caching and observability to deliver business-critical systems with measurable impact.
