What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead architecture and deliver scalable, high-performance cloud-native systems—building secure APIs, distributed services, and AI-powered workflows in teams that value clean engineering practices, mentorship, and measurable reliability.

I’m a Principal Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience designing, developing, and scaling enterprise-grade web applications, SaaS platforms, AI-powered systems, and cloud-native solutions. I specialize in software architecture, distributed systems, API development, and cloud infrastructure.

In my current role at 360Solutions, I lead the architecture and development of scalable applications using Python, Django, React, and AWS. I design microservices and distributed systems, build secure APIs and integrations, and drive technical decisions, system design, and engineering best practices.

I also focus heavily on performance and reliability—optimizing databases, applying caching, improving scalability, and ensuring secure, production-ready delivery. Along the way, I lead code reviews, mentor engineers, and promote clean architecture principles while collaborating with stakeholders to deliver scalable business solutions.

Previously, I built and optimized back-end systems for ticketing, workforce management, and enterprise CMS platforms, including secure payment integrations. I’ve also developed AI-driven applications using OCR, computer vision, and automation workflows, delivering production-ready systems for healthcare and business operations.
