What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building scalable, secure full‑stack or backend systems in collaborative Agile teams, with strong testing, CI/CD, and cloud practices.

I am a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer with 8+ years building production web applications across backend and frontend, focusing on reliable, scalable solutions for FinTech and Healthcare. My core strength is Python (Django, Flask, FastAPI) complemented by modern JavaScript frameworks like React and Next.js.

I design and implement secure RESTful APIs, event‑driven services using Kafka, and ELT data pipelines, and I optimize databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) for high‑volume workloads. I deploy and operate microservices on cloud platforms (AWS, GCP) using Docker and Kubernetes, and I emphasize testing, observability, and CI/CD to keep systems robust in production.

I have delivered features in digital banking, lending, healthcare automation, and SaaS customer success products, improving reliability through refactoring, enhanced monitoring, and performance tuning. I collaborate in Agile teams and aim to build practical systems that run reliably at scale.
