What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build enterprise-grade, event-driven platforms—owning backend architecture, API development, and performance at scale—while collaborating cross-functionally in Agile teams and mentoring engineers.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience designing, developing, and scaling high-performance backend and full-stack systems. I’ve architected scalable, high-availability backend services (Node.js, Java, Python) and built event-driven microservices using Apache Kafka to improve throughput and reliability by ~30–40%.

I’m also focused on building reliable, enterprise-grade web applications with JavaScript and modern frontend frameworks like React.js, along with secure RESTful APIs for seamless internal and external integrations. I’ve led performance optimization to reduce average latency by ~25% through data modeling, query optimization, and caching (Redis), and I bring clean architecture and distributed systems principles to refactor legacy components. Across Agile/Scrum teams, I mentor junior engineers, run code reviews, and help deliver production-ready features with strong CI/CD, testing, and documentation practices.
