What I'm looking for

I seek engineering roles building scalable, observable systems and AI-driven automation where I can improve reliability, reduce manual work, and drive measurable operational impact.

I am a senior software engineer with extensive experience building AI-driven automation and scalable backend systems for finance and high-availability consumer services.

I have led development of ML-enabled pipelines, journaling classification agents, and ERP integration layers that reduced manual reconciliation and improved processing accuracy and speed.

My work spans designing fault-tolerant async architectures using Celery, Kafka, SQS, and Temporal; implementing multi-tenant SaaS platforms; and integrating cloud-native services on AWS and Azure.

I prioritize observability, security, and reliable automation, and I consistently deliver measurable improvements in throughput, uptime, and operational efficiency.
