What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead architecture and ship reliable, scalable SaaS and cloud platforms—mentoring teams, improving release management, and strengthening CI/CD—while partnering with stakeholders to translate product goals into dependable production outcomes.

I’m a Senior Software Developer with 6+ years of experience building web applications, software products, and SaaS platforms. I focus on system design, REST APIs, cloud deployment, microservices, and scalable backend development, with a track record of integrating external APIs and enabling business automation.

At Softwave (May 2019–Current), I led and mentored a team of 4 developers, established development standards through code reviews, and drove technical architecture decisions. I introduced semantic versioning, built CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and Docker, and architected scalable AWS infrastructure (ECS, S3, ALB) for production containerized services—delivering multi-site Strapi-powered platforms and tenant-isolated SaaS systems.
