What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles where I can lead architecture, modernize systems, and mentor teams while working with cloud-native, CI/CD, and AI-driven technologies.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience designing, building, and operating large-scale, fault-tolerant distributed systems using Node.js, ASP.NET Core, React.js, and Python. I focus on modernizing legacy systems, driving technical direction, and mentoring engineers to elevate software quality and team performance.

My background includes architecting cloud infrastructure on AWS and Azure with Terraform, implementing CI/CD and GitOps workflows, and delivering AI-driven features using ML.NET and Azure Cognitive Services to improve decision-making and system throughput. I prioritize compliance, security, operational excellence, and high test coverage through TDD and BDD practices.

I consistently deliver measurable impact: reducing deployment times, improving uptime and customer satisfaction, and increasing team productivity through reusable component libraries, automated pipelines, and real-time event-driven systems. I thrive in collaborative, engineering-driven environments where I can both lead architecture and mentor teams.
