What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on engineering role building scalable cloud-native systems with strong DevOps practices, automation, collaborative culture, and opportunities to mentor and improve reliability.

I am a software engineer focused on backend, full-stack, and DevOps, with a track record building cloud-native, high-performance applications. I specialize in distributed systems, real-time data processing, and infrastructure optimization to improve reliability and reduce downtime.

As a Lead Software Engineer I have designed scalable AWS serverless architectures, implemented CI/CD with GitHub Actions, and led cross-functional teams to increase release velocity and code quality. My work emphasizes automation, monitoring, and cost-effective scaling to meet production SLAs.

I have built backend services and analytics pipelines using Go, Node.js, TypeScript, Redis, Postgres, MongoDB, gRPC, and Kubernetes, and delivered features that improved user engagement and operational efficiency. I also contributed to payment integrations, rate-limiting, and low-latency caching strategies.

I bring hands-on DevOps experience provisioning infrastructure, automating deployments, and maintaining 99.9% uptime while mentoring teams and collaborating with UX and product stakeholders. I am eager to apply my expertise to help organizations scale reliably and efficiently.
