What I'm looking for

I seek backend or platform roles where I can build scalable, low-latency systems, work with cloud-native architectures, and contribute to high-availability financial or AI products while growing in system design and reliability.

I am a backend engineer with 4+ years of production experience building scalable financial and data-driven systems, specializing in microservices, RESTful APIs, and real-time data pipelines using Python and Node.js.

I have designed high-performance trading platforms, AI-powered applications, and robust data pipelines—implementing database optimization, sharding, and cloud architectures that maintained high availability and low latency for mission-critical services.

I focus on reliable deployments and observability, with hands-on experience in AWS/GCP, containerization, CI/CD, authentication protocols, and performance tuning to deliver secure, maintainable systems for enterprise clients.
