What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a mission-driven team where I can build scalable software and data pipelines, improve reliability and observability, and modernize platforms with automation and infrastructure as code—while collaborating, mentoring, and learning through engineering communities.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 12+ years in IT, specializing in developing innovative solutions that integrate data analytics into seamless user experiences. I bring deep expertise across software engineering, data integration, and advanced analytics—aligned with teams focused on expanding financial inclusion.

In recent roles, I’ve architected scalable microservices and built data pipelines that improved processing efficiency and reliability. I’ve reduced downtime by 30%, cut operational costs by 15%, and accelerated deployments by 40% through automation and infrastructure as code.

I also strengthen systems through security and observability—implementing OAuth2/OIDC/JWT and adding monitoring with AWS CloudWatch—while mentoring developers and modernizing legacy codebases. I’m passionate about open-source contributions and continuously expanding my technical skillset through developer communities.
