What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, cloud-native SaaS and AI-enabled systems where I can lead engineering, implement CI/CD and infra-as-code, mentor teams, and deliver high-performance, secure products.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years building scalable web, mobile, and AI-powered applications across SaaS, healthcare, and enterprise domains. I specialize in Python frameworks (Django, Flask, FastAPI) and have delivered high-performance backend services, REST and GraphQL APIs, microservices, and optimized databases.

I have integrated AI frameworks including OpenAI GPT, Hugging Face, and LangChain for predictive analytics and automation, and I’ve led cloud-native, containerized deployments using AWS/GCP, Docker, and Kubernetes to achieve zero-downtime releases and faster time-to-market. At NexaTech I reduced development time by 40% and improved UX consistency by 30% while improving scalability and reducing downtime.

I actively mentor engineering teams, implement CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, GitLab CI/CD), and focus on reliable, secure multi-tenant SaaS architecture with OAuth2/JWT and RBAC. I am results-driven, pragmatic about tradeoffs, and focused on delivering maintainable systems that scale.
