What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building scalable full-stack systems with autonomy, technical leadership, and opportunities to work on AI, blockchain, and cloud-native architectures.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years building scalable, production-ready systems across full-stack development, AI/ML, blockchain, and cloud infrastructure. I specialize in system architecture, performance optimization, and delivering high-impact features for large-scale platforms.

I have led end-to-end projects from database design to user interfaces, architecting microservices, real-time systems, and event-driven backends using TypeScript/Node.js, Python, and modern frontend frameworks. I consistently achieve strong reliability and performance metrics, including 99.9% uptime and sub-200ms complex query times.

I implement robust DevOps practices and observability, building CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments, and monitoring stacks to enable rapid, safe releases. I also integrate AI/ML inference pipelines and blockchain features, optimizing costs and system throughput while improving user-facing quality.

I enjoy mentoring engineers, leading technical decisions, and collaborating with stakeholders to translate business needs into scalable technical solutions. I thrive in fast-paced environments that value autonomy, continuous learning, and technical excellence.
