What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reliable, scalable backend platforms and APIs, lead migrations and architecture improvements, and mentor teams through complex technical work.

At Textkernel, I lead backend improvements for Jobfeed, expanding it into four new countries and contributing to an estimated 18% revenue increase. I migrated the platform from on-prem infrastructure to AWS and rewrote its legacy PHP API into Python microservices, reducing response times by 30–40%.

I build scalable APIs, data pipelines, and streaming systems using Go, Python, AWS, Kafka, RabbitMQ, and PostgreSQL. I’ve also improved performance and reliability at Futurewhiz, Preferental, and Nuvan, while mentoring engineers and guiding architecture through complex technical work.
