What I'm looking for

I seek backend or cloud-focused roles where I can build scalable, high-performance systems, improve reliability, and drive measurable impact within a collaborative, DevOps-minded team.

I am a results-driven backend engineer with 4+ years designing and deploying high-performance microservices and distributed systems. I specialize in Golang and Python, and have repeatedly delivered dramatic performance improvements — for example reducing API response times by 97% and building systems serving millions of users.

I have built production-grade microservices, event-driven systems, and fraud detection and monitoring solutions across cloud environments, improving throughput, reliability, and user retention. I bring a pragmatic, metrics-focused engineering approach, strong DevOps practices, and a track record of delivering end-to-end features that scale.
