What I'm looking for

I seek backend/cloud roles where I can design scalable systems, apply DevOps practices, mentor peers, and use new technologies to improve product reliability and customer outcomes.

I am a backend engineer with extensive hands-on experience building and operating cloud-native systems using Golang and AWS, focused on delivering reliable, scalable services. I have worked across startups and enterprise projects, contributing to architecture, CI/CD, monitoring, and deployment.

My recent work includes building accounting and exchange-related systems deployed on AWS using services such as S3, SQS, ECS, Lambda, API Gateway and Aurora (MySQL), and implementing observability with Datadog, Prometheus and Grafana.

I hold AWS professional certifications and a Certified Ethical Hacker credential, and I bring an ownership mindset, strong DevOps familiarity, and a commitment to researching and applying new technologies to improve product quality and customer experience.
