What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on, remote-friendly role where I can lead small teams, craft cloud-native/IoT systems, and continue learning.

I am an experienced software architect with over a decade building cloud-native, serverless, and IoT systems across automotive, government, finance, recreation-services, and medical-records industries.

I led architecture and development for the FleetPulse Trailer Telematics IoT platform, scaling it to 16,000+ trailers across hundreds of customers and contributing to an $11M spin-off while managing a distributed team of 10 engineers.

I design and implement event-driven, microservices-based back ends using JVM technologies, Go, Python, and extensive AWS services, and I have delivered solutions that saved operational effort (for example, a job-application-sync system that reclaimed 100+ staff-hours per year).

I seek hands-on contributor roles where I can lead small teams, continue learning, and deliver robust, scalable systems—preferably in remote-friendly environments.
