What I'm looking for

I seek challenging roles building scalable web and backend systems, with collaborative Agile teams, strong engineering practices, and opportunities to improve performance and observability.

I am a seasoned Senior Software Engineer with 9+ years building high-quality web applications and backend systems. I have led performance rearchitectures, implemented serverless solutions on AWS, improved observability with Datadog, and delivered production features across startups and enterprise teams.

My background spans full-stack and back-end work using React, Ruby on Rails, Laravel, Spring Boot and cloud-native tooling; I prioritize efficient, testable code, strong collaboration in Agile/Scrum teams, and building solutions that scale and improve user experience.
