Senior full-stack software engineer building scalable cloud-native messaging platforms on React, Node, and AWS.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 4+ years building scalable full-stack applications, frontend experiences, and cloud-native messaging platforms. I focus on practical system design, reliable delivery, and measurable operational improvements.
I led an AWS Lambda → Amazon EKS migration end-to-end—owning architecture, proof-of-concept, load testing, deployment planning, and production rollout. I also improved security and compliance readiness by implementing a Field Level Encryption (FLE) framework, including historical data migration and migration tooling under customer-driven timelines.
Across my roles, I’ve driven large-scale performance and stability improvements, including reducing Elasticsearch shard-management overhead by ~90% and enabling near real-time delivery status processing with a self-managed poller service on Amazon EKS consuming Kinesis Streams. I build features that span backend services, REST APIs, UI screens, and deployment pipelines to deliver outcomes like lower infrastructure cost and faster incident response.
