What I'm looking for

I seek backend or platform roles where I can lead reliability and automation initiatives, apply CI/CD and Kubernetes expertise, mentor teams, and impact system scalability and operational resilience.

7+ years of experience across startups and government; building and evolving core features, improving system performance and reliability, implementing CI/CD pipelines, introducing teamwork protocols and promoting knowledge sharing within the team to reduce operational risks.

For me, good programming practices and clear communication with the team are key to software development.
