What I'm looking for

I’m looking to own critical backend systems end-to-end—design to deployment—where I can drive measurable improvements in performance, stability, and developer efficiency. I thrive in teams that value scalable architecture, AWS/Docker practices, and mentoring through clear engineering standards.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 6+ years of experience building and scaling backend systems for production environments. I bring a strong focus on Java, Spring Boot, and microservices architecture, with a proven track record of improving API performance and reliability.

At Cipherlogic, I designed and scaled backend services supporting 99.9%+ uptime APIs, improving response times by 30% through query optimization and indexing. I owned critical platform modules end-to-end, reducing production incidents by 40% and improving system stability across releases.

I also strengthened operational excellence by implementing structured logging and monitoring, cutting incident detection time by 50% and reducing MTTR significantly. I containerized 20+ services using Docker and deployed on AWS, reducing deployment time by 60% and improving release consistency, while leading cross-functional delivery cycles.

Previously at BigCommerce, I built scalable backend services using Node.js and Python and optimized database queries to reduce API latency by 35% under peak load. Earlier at i2c Inc., I expanded full-stack features (React and Node.js), built and maintained REST APIs, and supported AWS-based deployments—always with a practical approach to performance, scalability, and production stability.
