Software engineer focused on reliability, distributed systems, and observability.
What I'm looking for
I am a software engineer focused on reliability and distributed systems, with hands-on experience building and optimizing critical infrastructure at scale.
I have driven infrastructure modernization and cost optimization, including a zero-downtime Redis migration that produced significant annual savings and improved reliability through IaC adoption.
As an Incident Lead and platform engineer, I have led Black Friday readiness efforts, used data analysis to forecast traffic, and delivered 100% SLA with major operational cost reductions.
I have full‑stack experience developing low‑latency personalized user feeds, implemented observability and ML-driven features, and led small research teams to deploy real‑time machine learning in microservice environments.
