What I'm looking for

I seek roles building backend systems and platforms where I can design scalable, secure microservices, drive automation, and improve operational performance.

I am a founding software engineer with hands-on experience designing and shipping core modules for a YC-backed SaaS, driving the product from launch to $1M ARR within 18 months.

I architect distributed systems and microservices, including a Workflow Management Service (FastAPI, Temporal) and a scalable Payroll Engine (Django, Celery, PostgreSQL) that processes thousands of payslips monthly and handles multi-currency statutory logic.

I build multi-tenant platforms, secure document management, and granular RBAC layers, optimizing performance and operational costs through schema redesign, FX-rate optimizations, and efficient orchestration.

I prioritize reliability, security, and automation—delivering feature-rich solutions like Slack automation, encrypted storage patterns, and automated tenant provisioning that improve HR workflows and reduce manual effort.
