United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a senior backend and full‑stack engineer with 8+ years designing and building distributed systems, event‑driven microservices and cloud‑native platforms. I focus on resilient architecture, API design, authentication and observability while delivering product‑grade features.
My hands‑on tech experience includes Go, TypeScript/Node.js, Python, SQL, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform and AWS services; I’ve owned ledger‑adjacent microservices, idempotent event processing and high‑volume transactional flows for fintech and consumer finance products.
I enjoy integrating AI/ML capabilities, building developer tooling to simplify partner onboarding, and improving reliability through observability and CI/CD. I collaborate across product and frontend teams to ship maintainable systems and support production operations at scale.
