What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building scalable, secure, observable distributed systems with strong ownership of architecture, CI/CD, and performance.

I am a Senior Full Stack Engineer with 11+ years designing and building high-scale distributed systems across MERN and Python ecosystems. I architect modular, domain-driven services and high-performance frontends using React.js/Next.js with SSR, hydration optimizations, and component-driven design.

I build and optimize scalable backends with FastAPI, Django, Node.js, and Express, focusing on REST/GraphQL APIs, async processing, WebSockets, Redis caching, and database performance tuning for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB. I deploy containerized workloads across AWS, Azure, GCP, and VPS environments with CI/CD automation and zero-downtime release strategies.

I prioritize security, observability, and reliability—implementing JWT/OAuth2/RBAC, blue-green deployments, logging, metrics, and distributed tracing—to deliver production-grade systems that scale and perform under concurrent workloads.
