Senior full stack engineer delivering scalable SaaS, distributed systems, and cloud-native performance with reliable, multi-tenant APIs.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Full Stack Engineer with 8+ years of experience building scalable SaaS platforms, distributed systems, and cloud-native applications. I focus on designing reliable backend systems, high-performance APIs, and multi-tenant architectures that support thousands to millions of users.
Recently at Aneket Innovators, I helped shape a multi-tenant SaaS architecture, reducing slow API responses by 25% through database and caching optimization. I also built automated deployment pipelines for daily releases with fewer production errors, managed Azure infrastructure while reducing hosting costs by 20%, and implemented monitoring and alerting to improve production issue detection and resolution.
Before that, I led distributed messaging systems at Stemless (1M+ SMS transactions/day with 99.9% uptime), ran a major refactor covering 60% of the codebase (test coverage 28% to 85%, production bugs down 90%), and improved monitoring to reduce failure detection time by 95%. I’ve also delivered production-critical platforms like Norma Technologies’ tax management system (1M+ citizens, 99.95% uptime) and mentored developers through code reviews and pair programming.
