What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior backend or cloud platform roles where I can lead teams, build scalable microservices, and improve reliability using Kubernetes, cloud migrations, and automation within a collaborative, learning-focused culture.

I am a senior software engineer with a track record of building cloud-native backend systems and leading engineering teams to deliver complex platform products. I specialize in microservices, distributed systems, and cloud integrations using Golang, Scala, Java, and Kubernetes.

At Wanclouds I led backend development for enterprise cloud management products including MCMP for Cisco, the Shepherd security platform, VPC++ migrations, and DRaaS backup solutions. I drove architecture redesigns, optimized resource workflows, and improved performance and reliability across OpenStack, OpenShift, Kafka, and ELK stacks. I also coach engineers, run knowledge-sharing sessions, and participate in customer calls to shape product improvements.

I am passionate about solving production-scale problems, reducing attack surface in containerized environments, and automating cloud migration and disaster-recovery workflows. I seek opportunities to lead platform engineering efforts that prioritize reliability, performance, and continuous learning.
