Senior full stack engineer specializing in scalable backend systems, cloud architecture, and production reliability.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a senior full stack engineer with 8+ years building high-throughput APIs, resilient distributed systems, and scalable SaaS platforms. I specialize in Python-based backends (FastAPI, Django), event-driven microservices, and cloud-native deployments.
At Prefect, I own architecture and long-term technical roadmaps for high-traffic systems, designed async FastAPI services, and implemented Kafka/RabbitMQ orchestration to support millions of monthly API requests. I also led design reviews and mentored engineers to raise code quality and reliability.
Earlier roles at Fastly and Buf involved designing secure REST/GraphQL APIs, implementing event-driven pipelines, optimizing database performance with advanced indexing and schema refactoring, and introducing caching with Redis to improve responsiveness.
I bring deep experience across cloud platforms (primarily AWS), infrastructure as code (Terraform), container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), observability (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK), and applied AI integrations (LLM APIs, RAG, LangChain) to drive automation and product value.
