What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills in cloud technologies and offers opportunities for growth in a collaborative environment.

I am a dedicated Backend Engineer with more than three years of experience specializing in cloud native systems and scalable solutions. My journey has been marked by a commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technologies to solve complex challenges. At IBM, I designed and implemented a custom pod metrics collection framework, enhancing container performance analysis through innovative use of cAdvisor and Kubernetes API. My work also involved integrating a centralized structured logging system, which significantly improved our logging capabilities.

Prior to my role at IBM, I contributed to Tata Elxsi as a Golang/Node.js Developer, where I architected a real-time screen sharing solution for Android TV devices and managed a globally scaled event-driven automation platform. My experience extends to building IoT data pipelines and enhancing security through SSL certificate management. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can apply my skills in Golang, Node.js, and cloud technologies to create impactful solutions.
