What I'm looking for

I seek backend or platform roles where I can lead scalable API development, drive cloud migrations, improve observability, and deliver measurable efficiency gains in a collaborative, growth-focused team.

I am a senior software engineer with six years of experience building scalable backend APIs using Golang, Python, PHP, and Java, focused on cloud migrations, third-party integrations, and system monitoring. I have driven measurable improvements such as a 20% platform cost reduction, 25% faster anomaly response times, and 30% faster data retrieval through efficient architecture and data structures.

I design reliable microservices and RESTful APIs, implement observability with Datadog and cloud logging, and automate deployments with Kubernetes, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines. I seek to solve complex problems, improve operational efficiency, and deliver production-ready systems with strong test coverage and robust monitoring.
