What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior/lead roles where I can own reliability, infrastructure migrations, and mentor teams while building scalable, secure production systems.

I am a senior full‑stack engineer and lead systems engineer with over two decades of experience delivering production systems for early‑stage startups and large enterprises. I have led migrations to private cloud and AWS, introduced containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, Nomad), designed SRE playbooks, and built internal tooling in Go and Python while mentoring and recruiting engineering teams.

My background includes launching new products from concept to market using Ruby on Rails, supporting security and bug bounty programs, and operating complex stacks with PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, Prometheus, and Grafana. I bring extensive remote work experience, a pragmatic focus on reliability and automation, and a track record of supporting acquisitions and technical due diligence.
