What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities in innovative environments that value collaboration and growth.

I'm a Senior Backend Engineer with over a decade of experience in developing scalable APIs, event-driven systems, and cloud-native services across various sectors, including healthtech, fintech, logistics, and AI. My expertise lies in Python, Go, and JavaScript, with a strong emphasis on microservices and enhancing developer productivity. I thrive in mission-driven startups and excel in remote-first environments, where collaboration and innovation are key.

Currently, I lead backend development at Mochi Health, where I have been instrumental in building the telehealth infrastructure for clinical obesity care. My work includes developing Node.js and FastAPI microservices, integrating payment systems, and ensuring compliance with HIPAA and SOC 2 standards. Previously, I designed microservices for high-volume inventory management at ChannelApe and built backend services for financial institutions at Zest AI, focusing on real-time data processing and compliance.
