What I'm looking for

I seek backend or platform roles focused on scalable, high-throughput systems, measurable performance improvements, and strong engineering practices with automated CI/CD and observability.

I am a backend-focused software engineer with proven results improving API latency and database efficiency in production environments. I designed and implemented a high-throughput log ingestion platform (2.8x baseline throughput) and drove DB query reductions of 92.83% while improving API response times by 65.45% through targeted ORM and indexing optimizations.

My work emphasizes scalable system design, event-driven architectures, and reliable data pipelines using Node.js, C++, ClickHouse, Redis Streams, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, and observability tooling like OpenTelemetry and Jaeger. I prioritize maintainable architecture (onion architecture), automated CI/CD, and measurable performance gains that directly improve user experience and operational costs.
