What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead backend and DevOps initiatives, build scalable AI-powered systems, and automate delivery pipelines within collaborative, growth-focused teams.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years of hands-on experience in backend development, DevOps automation, and AI-powered systems. I build robust APIs and containerized microservices using Python (Django, Flask, FastAPI) and Node.js, and deliver end-to-end features with React.js and Next.js.

I've designed and deployed AI systems including RAG chatbots with LangChain, Pinecone, and OpenAI, improving response accuracy by 40%, and built n8n automation pipelines that saved 15+ manual hours per week. I architect CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes deployments on Azure and AWS, achieving 99.9% uptime and faster release cadences.

I prioritize reliable, scalable systems and strong cross-functional collaboration—authoring API documentation, optimizing databases with PostgreSQL/Redis, integrating payment gateways, and automating workflows to reduce downtime and streamline delivery.
