What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead remote back-end work that builds dependable APIs and onboarding/education platforms—partnering cross-functionally, strengthening reliability and CI/CD, and scaling documentation and enablement so teams move faster.

I’m a senior back-end software developer with 9 years of experience delivering remote programs, training workflows, and onboarding systems across distributed teams. I’m known for turning complex requirements into dependable platforms that support clinical education, professional development, and day-one readiness.

In my most recent role, I led a 6-person remote squad and shipped AWS-backed education services quickly and reliably. I built Java and Vert.x APIs using AWS Lambda and RDS, designed integration flows with REST APIs and PostgreSQL, and mentored engineers and analysts to strengthen onboarding standards, documentation, and release reviews.

I focus on operational excellence as much as features: I added structured logging, CloudWatch alerts, and retry logic to reduce incident triage time, and I orchestrated async release coordination to keep deployment defects low. I also modernized knowledge base content using Cursor and OpenAI APIs, improving how remote instructors find answers and stay aligned.

Across earlier work at Infosys, Rainbow Design Services, D&J IDIOMAS, and iQor, I consistently improved enablement outcomes through better APIs, faster setup, clearer documentation, and more effective knowledge transfer. I bring strong cross-functional coordination, CI/CD discipline, and a continuous-improvement mindset to every onboarding and professional development system I build.
