What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior role where I can architect and ship scalable backend/platform systems end-to-end—modernizing infrastructure with AWS and Terraform, improving reliability and observability, and collaborating closely to turn complex problems into maintainable solutions.

I’m a senior software engineer with 10+ years of experience delivering complex projects end-to-end—optimizing infrastructure and building clean, maintainable systems. Recently, I founded an architectural intelligence platform that maps massive codebases and helps teams visualize coupling, track technical debt, and plan microservice extractions.

Across my roles, I’ve built production backend and frontend services (Ruby on Rails, FastAPI, Django, React), designed ingestion pipelines, and automated infrastructure with Terraform on AWS. At scale, I’ve improved reliability and performance through Kubernetes deployments, Airflow operators, and stronger monitoring, including measurable gains like ~22% faster development/deployment and reduced alert noise by 27%.
