What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and lead scalable distributed backend systems on AWS—designing event-driven services, optimizing data pipelines, and improving reliability through testing and CI/CD, while mentoring teams to deliver real product impact.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 5+ years delivering scalable backend systems, REST APIs, and data-intensive platforms on AWS. I architect and lead cross-functional work from architecture design to production, with a focus on maintainable, impactful software that solves real operational problems.

My work centers on Python and Django, event-driven architectures, and high-throughput data processing—designing cloud-native services using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, WebSockets, SQS, and ECS/Fargate. I’ve improved performance through load testing, query optimization, and backend redesign (e.g., cutting PostgreSQL processing from 600 to 15 minutes) while also strengthening reliability with unit/integration testing practices and CI/CD automation.
