What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a senior engineering role where I can lead backend architecture, build scalable microservices, drive DevOps and CI/CD practices, mentor engineers, and work with modern JS/Python/cloud stacks in a collaborative, growth-focused team.

I'm a Full-Stack Engineer with nine years of experience building scalable, secure web applications. My expertise leans toward backend architecture and API development while I also craft modern frontends with Next.js, React, Angular, and Vue.

At CODUP I led a backend team of six, architecting and scaling 27+ microservices for a logistics SaaS serving 4M+ monthly users, reducing infrastructure costs by 23% and cutting release cycles from three weeks to five days. I built CI/CD pipelines, centralized logging, and mentoring programs that increased deployment frequency by 62% and reduced incident resolution time to under 30 minutes.

I enjoy combining DevOps practices with clean, modular code—working across Node.js, NestJS, Django, FastAPI, Spring Boot, Laravel, Go, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB—to deliver reliable software. I'm eager to lead architecture and mentor teams in a collaborative, growth-focused environment.
