What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, cloud-native systems and AI-powered features—collaborative teams, strong DevOps practices, and opportunities to mentor and impact product reliability.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years building scalable microservices, high-throughput APIs, and event-driven systems using Python (Django, FastAPI), Java (Spring Boot), and Go. I design and deploy cloud-native solutions, real-time analytics platforms, and LLM-powered features that improve operational efficiency and user experience.

My work spans end-to-end systems: migrating monoliths to microservices, engineering Kafka/Flink streaming pipelines, deploying ML models, and establishing CI/CD and observability. I partner with product and data teams to deliver reliable, performant services that serve millions daily and reduce latency and incident response times.
