What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth in a dynamic environment.

With over 11 years of experience as a Senior Software Engineer, I have a proven track record of building secure, high-performance APIs and microservices. My expertise lies in utilizing Go, Node.js, and Django to create modern frontend interfaces and cloud-native systems on AWS and GCP. I am passionate about integrating AI features and handling real-time data flows, which has allowed me to lead projects from inception to completion while mentoring fellow developers.

Throughout my career, I have made significant contributions in various sectors, including healthcare, fintech, and IoT. At McKinsey & Company, I spearheaded the development of an AI-powered healthcare platform, ensuring compliance with HIPAA guidelines while delivering innovative solutions. My experience also includes architecting backend systems for Brex's fintech platform, where I implemented robust transaction processing and fraud detection mechanisms. I thrive in collaborative environments, leveraging Agile methodologies to enhance team performance and deliver reliable, well-tested code.
