What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building scalable, user-focused web platforms with strong CI/CD, cloud deployment, and opportunities to mentor and lead.

I am a Senior Full Stack Engineer with 6+ years building and deploying scalable web applications using Python, JavaScript, and Ruby on Rails. I focus on designing secure RESTful and GraphQL APIs, architecting microservices, and optimizing SQL/NoSQL databases for high-traffic systems.

At Kito I delivered end-to-end features with React, Node/Express, and Rails, improved response times by 25%, maintained Django microservices, and deployed Python services on AWS using GitHub Actions. I mentor junior developers and promote best practices in asynchronous programming and performance tuning.

Previously, I developed high-volume SaaS APIs, built containerized deployments on AWS, and integrated ML models into production in collaboration with data science teams. I have a strong record of migrating legacy systems toward modern front-ends and ensuring platform interoperability via REST and GraphQL.

I thrive in Agile environments, emphasize automated testing and CI/CD, and seek to deliver user-focused solutions that scale reliably under load.
