What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior role where I can architect scalable web platforms, own microservices and APIs, improve performance, and build CI/CD on cloud infrastructure—while mentoring teams in an Agile environment.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 11+ years of experience designing and building scalable web applications. I specialize in the MERN Stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) and Python frameworks like Django, Flask, and FastAPI.

I focus on backend performance and system scalability, building RESTful and GraphQL APIs and implementing event-driven services. I’ve delivered real-time experiences using WebSockets (Socket.io) and optimized data access with Redis caching and query tuning.

I lead technical initiatives in Agile environments, mentoring engineers, conducting code reviews, and shaping technical roadmaps. I’ve also implemented microservices-based architectures on Kubernetes, improving fault tolerance and supporting seamless scaling.

On the cloud side, I build and operate reliable CI/CD pipelines and serverless systems across AWS and GCP. From cost reduction with AWS Lambda and API Gateway to improved throughput and latency, I bring strong end-to-end ownership—from architecture to deployment.
