What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role in a dynamic environment that fosters innovation and growth.

I am an experienced software developer with a strong focus on C++ programming on the Linux platform, particularly in multi-threading and STL. My journey in software development began in 2011, and I have since honed my skills in object-oriented programming, data structures, and algorithms. I have a proven track record of end-to-end product deployment and debugging, and I have successfully developed and maintained applications on the AWS platform.

Throughout my career, I have taken on significant roles, including Staff Engineer at Kinara and Principal Engineer at Progress, where I have led projects involving ODBC drivers and edge inference systems. My expertise in GRPC and ZMQ for inter-process communication has allowed me to design and develop robust architectures that meet client needs. I am passionate about optimizing code and enhancing system performance, which has been a key aspect of my contributions to various projects.
