What I'm looking for

I seek engineering roles where I can build reliable, low-latency backend systems and automation, collaborate cross-functionally, and deliver measurable product impact.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with experience building high-performance backend services, automation scripts, and web applications for large-scale travel platforms.

At IBS Software (vendor for Expedia Group) I developed multilingual Virtual ChatAgents, designed regex-based redirection logic handling 5M monthly redirects, and authored automation that reduced manual SEO work from days to under an hour.

I contribute to reliability and quality through extensive testing and code review — I authored 200+ JUnit tests to raise coverage from 70% to 83% and reviewed 70+ pull requests enforcing REST API design and security practices.

I build full-stack projects and developer tools using Python, Java, Kotlin, React, and cloud/deployment tools; I focus on measurable impact, low-latency systems, and cross-functional collaboration to deliver customer-facing features with minimal incidents.
