What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for growth in system design and architecture.

I am a seasoned software engineer with over 10 years of industrial experience in building and designing complex software systems. My expertise lies in back-end and full-stack engineering, utilizing both object-oriented and functional programming methodologies. I have a keen interest in system designs, distributed systems, scalability, and system reliability, and I am committed to following best practices while staying up to date with industry standards.

Throughout my career, I have successfully mentored interns and junior software engineers, helping them thrive in the industry. My experience includes serving as a feature owner at Pinterest, where I led major system design decisions and improved code quality through detailed reviews. I am passionate about solving complex problems and continuously learning new tools and frameworks to deliver high-quality software systems.
