I'm looking for a role where I can work on meaningful backend systems, contribute to a strong engineering team, and keep growing my skills—especially around scalable architecture, performance, and cloud infrastructure. I enjoy solving real-world problems, learning from smart people, and working in an environment where impact and ownership matter.

What I'm looking for
Balancing a busy professional life with family commitments is essential to me. I cherish quality time with my family, especially during our PlayStation nights and weekend camping trips, which strengthen our bonds. We also enjoy dining out and spending time at local parks, fostering a sense of community and relaxation. Personally, I am passionate about badminton, dedicating 7-8 hours each week to the sport. This activity not only keeps me physically active but also enhances my strategic thinking and teamwork skills, which I believe are valuable in both personal and professional settings.
