What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building cloud-native, AI/ML-enabled systems that bridge software and hardware in remote, collaborative teams with strong engineering culture.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years building scalable, secure, high-performance systems across backend, full stack, AI/ML, cloud infrastructure, and IoT domains. I design and deploy cloud-native platforms (GCP, AWS, Kubernetes, Docker) and develop secure REST/GraphQL APIs that deliver measurable business impact.

I have led end-to-end product development for legal tech, AI social platforms, and enterprise cloud projects, improving scalability by 30%+, reducing query latency, and achieving >90% automated test coverage. I bridge hardware and software through PCB design, embedded systems, and device management to deliver integrated automation solutions.

I thrive in remote-first, distributed teams and mentor junior engineers while driving Agile best practices, CI/CD improvements, and AI/ML integrations to transform workflows from legal research to high-frequency trading analytics.
