What I'm looking for

I seek a senior engineering role where I can lead backend architecture and AI integrations in mission-driven teams, prioritize secure, observable systems, mentor engineers, and deliver high-impact product outcomes.

I am a versatile Senior Software Engineer with over a decade of experience building robust, scalable, and secure systems across backend-heavy platforms, data-driven applications, and AI-assisted user experiences. I bring deep proficiency in Java, Python, Ruby, and Scala, and extensive hands-on experience with cloud ecosystems like AWS and Azure, microservices, event-driven pipelines, and production LLM integrations.

I have led backend architecture and cloud migrations, implemented secure, audit-compliant integrations for regulated domains (healthcare, education, finance), and shipped data-rich frontend features in React, Vue, and Angular. I mentor engineers, drive observability and testing best practices, and partner with product and design teams to deliver high-impact, compliant solutions.
