What I'm looking for

I’m seeking senior backend or cloud engineering roles where I can build scalable microservices, improve reliability, lead CI/CD and testing, and work in collaborative teams focused on measurable impact.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience building scalable, cloud-native systems using Node.js, NestJS and AWS. I focus on backend architecture, microservices and robust CI/CD and testing practices.

At DAZN I served as a core backend developer on mission-critical systems, contributed to a GraphQL Apollo Federation of 25+ microservices, and drove reliability and observability improvements. I redesigned database indexes and optimized APIs to accelerate log retrieval by 60% and reduce latency by up to 70%.

Previously at Rapid Innovation I migrated a monolith to a gRPC-based microservices model, implemented secure auth flows, and built real-time features using Socket.io and Redis. I also developed an AI-powered tool leveraging LangChain, Pinecone and OpenAI and achieved 85% test coverage across services.

I value measurable impact, operational excellence and clear documentation; I enjoy solving hard backend problems, improving system stability, and helping teams ship reliable products quickly.
