What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a dynamic, challenging role in a growing, future-oriented organization—where agile delivery, scalable architecture, and high-quality engineering help me enhance my skills and advance in software engineering.

I’m a Staff Software Engineer focused on designing and delivering complex, scalable systems. At GADITEK and PureVPN, I ensure timely, quality project delivery using agile methodologies, and I build reliable microservices-based architectures that support secure API communication.

My work centers on writing clean, maintainable code and optimizing performance, scalability, reliability, and maintainability. I conduct unit testing, PR reviews, and debugging, and I collaborate to translate requirements into technical specs while integrating message brokers like RabbitMQ and improving database solutions.

Before this, I progressed through Backend Software Engineer, Software Engineer II / Project Team Lead, and Technical Team Lead/Assistant Manager roles. I’ve supported end-to-end SDLC delivery (design to deployment), led cross-functional teams, and contributed to products across B2B and B2C—while also working on QA and web development to ensure high-quality outcomes.
