I build scalable cloud-native backend systems, data pipelines, and AI-powered applications.
What I'm looking for
I've improved large-scale cloud systems at Sitecore, including data pipelines for a client generating approximately $19.4M in weekly revenue. I reduced end-to-end pipeline execution time by about 2 hours 20 minutes and improved performance by approximately 45%.
At Thrive Solutions, I develop and maintain automation processes and frameworks that improve efficiency, reliability, and scalability. My work spans backend engineering, CI/CD, AWS workflows, distributed microservices, and production REST APIs.
As Founding Software Engineer at StarForge Solutions, I build custom software, AI-powered applications, and scalable platforms. I've architected multi-agent and LLM-powered systems, cloud-native deployments, and full-stack products using technologies including NestJS, Node.js, React, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS.
