Results-driven software engineer specializing in scalable full-stack, cloud-native systems.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a software engineer with over seven years building full-stack, cloud-native applications, focusing on high-performance Python backends (FastAPI, Flask, Django) and interactive React/TypeScript front ends. I have deployed microservices on GCP, automated infrastructure with Terraform and GitHub Actions, and delivered data-driven dashboards using BigQuery and Looker Studio.
I consistently improve performance and reliability—cutting backend latency by 40% through query optimization and caching—and mentor junior engineers to adopt testing, security, and CI/CD best practices. I thrive collaborating with design and product teams to build scalable, maintainable systems that serve millions of real-time users.
