What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build reliable, scalable, customer-centric educational technology platforms, working in Agile teams where I can own architecture, deliver measurable performance gains, and contribute through mentoring, code reviews, and DevOps automation.

I’m a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer with 11+ years of experience building scalable eLearning platforms, LMS systems, CMS solutions, CRM integrations, and eCommerce applications. I specialize in designing and delivering learning management and cloud-native SaaS platforms in Agile environments, with a strong emphasis on test-driven development and DevOps automation.

Across roles, I’ve improved LMS performance, scalability, and learner engagement through optimized middleware architectures and microservices—delivering up to 48% efficiency gains in enterprise education platforms. I architect REST and GraphQL services, optimize PostgreSQL/MySQL with indexing and query tuning, and build AWS-based infrastructures that drive measurable outcomes like higher engagement, faster course delivery, and improved uptime.
