What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

I’m a Software Engineer II with over 4 years of experience in backend-heavy full-stack development. Currently at PowerSchool, I work on production systems used by real customers, building and maintaining AWS-based serverless and event-driven backend services and integrating them with React frontends. My work involves designing REST APIs, supporting releases, debugging production issues, and improving system reliability and performance in collaboration with product and engineering teams.

I enjoy understanding how systems work end-to-end and take ownership of features from development to deployment. I’m particularly interested in scalable backend systems and cloud-based architectures, and I’m now looking to grow in a remote environment where I can contribute consistently while continuing to deepen my engineering skills.
