What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles where I can design cloud-native architectures, lead cross-functional teams, mentor engineers, and build internal platforms with a strong focus on security, scalability, and developer productivity.

I am a Principal Software Engineer with 14 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, cloud-native enterprise solutions across .NET, Java, and Azure ecosystems. I focus on system, technical, and enterprise architecture aligned closely to business goals.

I have led architecture and implementation of distributed systems and microservices, improving stability, performance, and security—fixing large numbers of vulnerabilities, scaling event-driven serverless pipelines to tens of thousands of events per minute, and reducing time-to-market through modern refactors and automation.

I am Microsoft certified in Azure and SQL Server, a Certified Scrum Master, and passionate about mentoring teams, building internal developer platforms, and contributing to open-source and platform initiatives that increase developer productivity and product resilience.
