Senior software engineer delivering reliable backend systems, test discipline, and production support.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years in C, Java, Python, and Node.js, focused on delivering testable backend systems and owning production support across web and transaction-heavy products. I bring code review discipline, unit testing, API design, and performance tuning—especially in regulated, reliability-sensitive environments.
In recent roles, I architected voice and chat flows in Node.js to keep multilingual scheduling reliable across 20K monthly interactions, built C services for error analysis, and hardened retries and logging to tighten defect loops. I designed API contracts for appointment routing, integrated OpenAI API with embeddings to improve search relevance for 30+ supported languages, and added guardrails and fallback logic to reduce bad responses under noisy inputs.
I also strengthen operational confidence with refined production dashboards, metrics, and alerting so regressions are caught early. Earlier, I engineered C services for gaming wallets and transactions and improved response times by 30%, then in Java/Spring Boot rebuilt backend processing for 3D model pipelines—cutting execution time by 40%—while supporting internal teams with React and TypeScript tooling.
