What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building scalable, cloud-native, secure systems where I can lead small teams, improve CI/CD and observability, and deliver product-focused impact that improves performance, reliability, and user satisfaction.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with nearly a decade of hands-on experience building web, server, and hardware-integrated systems while leading distributed teams to deliver high-quality products. I focus on measurable impact—reducing response times by 50% to under 0.3s, improving data quality by 80%, and cutting development friction through pragmatic agile practices.

My technical expertise spans TypeScript, Go, Python, React, Vue/NuxtJS, Kubernetes, Terraform, and observability tools like Grafana, Datadog, and Prometheus. I have implemented highly available cloud infrastructures and streaming systems (Kafka, Elasticsearch), built SDKs and CLI tooling that increased product adoption, and delivered robust security improvements such as session-based encryption and rapid incident resolution.

I prioritize clear documentation, reliable CI/CD, and user-centered product improvements that align with business goals. I enjoy mentoring teams, driving technical rigor, and building resilient systems that scale while keeping developer productivity and end-user satisfaction high.
