What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a senior role building scalable backend and distributed systems where I can lead architecture, integrate cloud services, optimize performance, and collaborate cross-functionally in an agile environment.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years designing and delivering scalable, high-performance backend systems and distributed applications. I have led backend architecture and database schema design, built real-time ETL pipelines with Kafka and MongoDB, and optimized tooling—reducing a C# tool's runtime from 1 hour to 6 minutes.

I focus on integrating cloud services, improving reliability for production C/C++/Qt systems, and implementing Python-based anomaly detection to accelerate analysis. I thrive in cross-functional teams and competitive environments, having competed at the ACM-ICPC World Finals.
