Senior software engineer and architect building resilient, cloud-native systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a performance-driven Senior Software Engineer and Architect with a decade-long career in engineering high-availability distributed systems and complex e-commerce engines. I dismantle technical debt to build elite, cloud-native infrastructures, harmonizing backend stability with fluid, responsive frontend experiences.
I optimize the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) through rigorous automation, advanced telemetry, and security-first design patterns that consistently exceed uptime and delivery benchmarks. In my current role, I maintain 99.9% system availability via Docker and Kubernetes, provision immutable infrastructure with Terraform, and accelerate release velocity by 40% using automated CI/CD pipelines integrated with security scanning.
I also reduce operational pain by architecting resilient microservices frameworks and API gateways with structured logging and distributed tracing—cutting incident MTTR by 35%. Across my experience, I’ve delivered 10+ production-ready features per quarter, improved latency and scalability with Redis caching, and led mentorship and code audits that institutionalize best practices.
