What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and optimize scalable, high-availability backend systems in microservices environments—owning architecture decisions, improving latency and reliability, and mentoring teams to deliver production-critical features.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience designing and building scalable backend systems using Node.js, NestJS, Django, and data stores like PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, and Elasticsearch. I focus on microservices architecture, distributed systems, API design, caching strategies, and performance optimization to deliver high-availability production services.

I’ve led engineering teams of up to 8 developers while owning mission-critical platforms and technical decisions end to end. Recently, I served as Technical Owner for the Tazkarti platform—implementing idempotent, concurrency-safe APIs, reducing API latency by ~35% with caching and query optimization, and delivering full-stack features with React and Django. I also bring strong cloud-native experience with Docker and AWS, plus security expertise including authentication/authorization and PKCS#11-based digital signing.
