What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build AI-enabled products with strong engineering standards—scalable backend/full-stack systems, real-time data, and serverless architecture—where I can keep improving performance, reliability, and cost efficiency.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years building and scaling backend and full-stack platforms, including real-time data processing, e-commerce transaction optimization, and microservices architectures. I’ve led initiatives that reduced latency by 40%, improved API performance by 30%, and cut infrastructure costs by 25% through event-driven design and efficient system architecture.

My work blends modern web engineering with AI integration—using Node.js and Python stacks (FastAPI/Django) alongside AWS serverless services (Lambda, API Gateway, S3) to deliver responsive, cost-effective solutions. I’m especially drawn to AI-driven products where I can ship reliable systems end-to-end, from API design to infrastructure automation and performance optimization.
