What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, low-latency systems with AI integrations, collaborative teams using IaC/CI-CD, and opportunities to lead architecture and performance improvements.

I am a software engineer specializing in scalable systems, real-time collaboration, and AI integrations, with hands-on experience building production-ready platforms that prioritize performance and reliability. I founded and led development of Miiglu Meet, delivering sub-50ms latency for 100+ participants, integrated LLM-based meeting summaries, and optimized frontend performance to Lighthouse scores above 95.

My background spans full-stack and infrastructure work—designing event-driven microservices in Rust, Node.js, and Python, implementing Terraform IaC and GitLab CI/CD, and improving API response times and database performance. I emphasize pragmatic DevOps, clean code, and measurable impact: reduced deployment times by 40%, improved search speed by 70%, and increased user engagement by 45%.
