What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build secure, cloud-native products—microservices plus modern UIs—while delivering AI-driven features and reliable data pipelines. I want a team that values production excellence, clear communication, and growth through mentorship.

I’m a results-driven Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience building scalable platforms and modern frontends across fintech, SaaS, and energy. I love designing secure, performant, user-focused applications that enable international growth.

In recent roles, I’ve delivered microservices and APIs in C#/.NET (ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework), built customer portal features with React.js, and supported dashboards and ETL/ELT pipelines integrating SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and AWS S3. I also partner with operations to resolve production incidents and improve reliability and release stability.

I’m especially motivated by AI-driven impact—building an AI-powered credit analysis system in Python and launching “Aluma,” an automated advice investment platform with compliance workflows. Across Azure and AWS (AKS, Functions, Lambda, Glue, S3), I’ve focused on cloud-native architectures, GDPR-aligned data governance, and mentoring teammates on best practices.
