What I'm looking for

I’m seeking senior/technical leadership roles where I can drive cloud-native architecture, mentor engineers, and deliver secure, scalable platforms with strong CI/CD and observability.

I am a Principal/Senior Software Engineer with over 10 years designing and delivering large-scale, fault-tolerant distributed systems for fintech and SaaS. I focus on cloud-native architectures, microservices, and high-availability platforms that meet strict security and regulatory requirements.

I lead cross-functional teams to set technical direction, champion continuous delivery, and implement test automation and CI/CD practices. I have delivered measurable improvements in uptime, cost efficiency, and incident recovery through architecture and operational changes.

My technical breadth spans ASP.NET Core (C#), Node.js, Python, React, Kubernetes, and major cloud providers (AWS, Azure). I’ve built API gateways, centralized identity systems, real-time collaboration features, and ML-integrated capabilities that increased engagement and feature adoption.

I prioritize secure, compliant solutions (OAuth 2.0, JWT, PCI DSS, SOC 2 Type II) and observability-driven operations. I seek roles where I can drive architectural transformation, mentor engineering teams, and deliver mission-critical, customer-facing platforms.
