What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, secure cloud-native systems where I can lead technical initiatives, mentor engineers, and improve reliability, performance, and developer workflows.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 4+ years designing and delivering scalable, high-performance applications across Azure and AWS, with strong backend and frontend experience using C#, .NET, Java, Spring Boot, and React. I lead engineering initiatives, mentor junior developers, and implement DevOps and observability best practices to drive reliability, security, and performance.

I've delivered production systems including messaging and payment platforms, optimized costs and performance through migrations and caching, introduced CI/CD and monitoring, and contributed to cross-border payment integrations and documentation efforts. I focus on building resilient, user-focused solutions and fostering continuous learning and technical excellence within teams.
