What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, focusing on impactful projects.

I am a seasoned Software Engineer with a decade of experience specializing in both frontend and backend development, as well as cloud engineering. My journey has been marked by a commitment to enhancing system reliability and optimizing workflows through innovative solutions. At Chalo, I spearheaded initiatives that increased distributed tracing coverage to 90%, significantly reducing debugging time by half. Additionally, I successfully cut AWS expenses by 40%, translating to a remarkable savings of $24,000 monthly through strategic capacity planning and automation.

My tenure at Shuttl further solidified my expertise in backend engineering and site reliability. I implemented scalable development guidelines for over 70 microservices, which not only improved service reliability but also streamlined onboarding processes for new engineers. My focus on Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has been pivotal in ensuring consistent resource management and reducing configuration drift. I take pride in my ability to enhance developer experience, having built internal tools that have saved over 1,000 developer hours annually.
