What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own services end-to-end—building scalable secure systems, improving observability and performance, and collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders on business-critical products, especially in AWS serverless and cloud-native environments.

I’m a Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience designing and shipping scalable, secure, and maintainable systems across fintech, logistics, and SaaS—covering both backend services and full-stack product features. I own services end-to-end, from system design and data modelling to deployment, observability, and incident response, translating complex requirements into reliable, business-focused solutions.

Recently, I redesigned a monolithic file management system into a modular, entity-agnostic service at Carrotsuite—enabling concurrent multi-file uploads, instant file access, and reducing feature integration time by ~80% while preserving 100% backward compatibility. Before that, I led backend architecture at EnsuredNg on AWS serverless (Lambda, DynamoDB, S3), and at Mr Delivery I delivered geospatial real-time rider tracking with WebSockets and proximity-based matching, supported by Redis caching and payment gateway integrations. I’m currently deepening AWS cloud expertise across cloud-native and serverless architectures.
