What I'm looking for
I am a senior full-stack software engineer with over 6 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure Python APIs and cloud infrastructure. I specialize in building modular, well-tested systems that supported 10,000 monthly users and drove over 200% engagement growth.
At Alphaday I led backend development and data engineering efforts, building aggregation pipelines integrating 1,000+ sources, administering CI/CD and AWS for multiple environments, and leading AI integration projects that unlocked new product value and operational savings. I also developed internal tooling to improve developer experience for a small engineering team.
I seek to apply my expertise in backend systems, data reliability, and AI integration to deliver robust solutions and mentor engineering teams while continuing to drive measurable user and business outcomes.
