What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own backend architecture for API-driven, data- and AI-enabled products—building scalable microservices, reliable pipelines, and measurable performance improvements with strong engineering practices.

I’m a backend-focused full-stack developer with 8+ years of experience designing and implementing scalable, high-performance server-side systems while still delivering strong frontend integration when it matters most. I specialize in API design, backend architecture, data modeling, and building cloud-native systems that stay reliable under real production load.

In my recent role, I led backend architecture for data- and AI-driven web applications, building FastAPI-based microservices for document processing, authentication, authorization, and orchestration. I developed robust data pipelines across relational and vector databases, and I implemented background workers with asynchronous processing to handle long-running tasks and high-throughput workloads.

I bring production discipline through logging, monitoring, error handling, and performance tuning, and I partner closely with frontend teams to define clean API contracts. Earlier, I developed RESTful APIs with clean architecture and optimized SQL/indexing strategies for performance, plus CI/CD and secure API practices through FastAPI and Python—backed by intern-level experience building internal services and APIs at Google.
