What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote-friendly opportunities to build reliable, production-ready platforms—owning scalable backend APIs, cloud-native deployments, and secure features—while working in an Agile team and mentoring others.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years of full-stack experience, focused on building scalable, high-performance web applications. I specialize in event-driven, distributed architectures (including message queues like RabbitMQ), and I design RESTful APIs and microservices that stay maintainable as systems grow.

I bring deep cloud and platform expertise with AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes, and I strengthen delivery with CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI/CD and Bitbucket Pipelines. From securing authentication and authorization (JWT, OAuth) to optimizing databases with MySQL/MongoDB and performance tools like Redis, I work to ship reliable, secure, production-ready solutions.
