What I'm looking for

I’m excited about enabling customers to find, analyze, and visualize their operational data. I’m looking for a team that values scale, reliability, and security, where I can own backend architecture and deliver high-throughput systems.

I’m a Sr Software Engineer with 9 years of experience designing high-throughput backend systems. I bring deep expertise in TypeScript, JavaScript, NodeJS, and SQL, and I’m hands-on with AWS, Lambda, and cloud infrastructure.

At Search Federation, I developed distributed and federated search across in-place data, using TypeScript, JavaScript, and NodeJS. I led architecture of a real-time event processing system handling millions of daily transactions, focusing on scale, reliability, and security.

Earlier, as a Principal Backend Engineer, I designed a real-time event processing system with Java, Spring, and Apache Kafka. I delivered a microservices-based architecture using Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS, and I optimized performance with data structures and algorithms to improve processing and query response times.

I work across the full software development lifecycle—from requirements and design to testing, deployment, and production support/monitoring. I also value service ownership, shared on-call responsibilities, cross-team collaboration, and maintaining clear technical documentation.
