What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and allows me to lead impactful projects while collaborating with talented teams.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 6 years of experience in designing and building distributed systems and scalable backend services. My expertise lies in Python and Golang, where I have successfully led technical initiatives that optimize backend systems for performance and reliability. I thrive in team-oriented environments and am passionate about cross-functional collaboration.

At Phaidra, I spearheaded the improvement of a high-performance data access layer service, achieving an impressive 80% reduction in latency. My efforts in migrating data storage to Google Bigtable not only enhanced efficiency but also eliminated operational overhead, resulting in a complete reduction of annual infrastructure costs. I am dedicated to identifying and resolving architectural bottlenecks to improve API latencies and ensure seamless user experiences.
