What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reliable, scalable backend and distributed systems where I can lead architecture, improve observability and performance, mentor engineers, and work closely with stakeholders on high-impact products.

At STATIQ, I own the backend for Phoenix, an EV charger deployment platform serving Hyundai, Kia, and BMW. I delivered 20% faster invoicing, increased load handling 3×, and designed a Charging Station Management System that processes 1M messages daily.

I build event-driven microservices with Python, Go, AWS, Kubernetes, Redis, MQTT, and relational and NoSQL databases. Across Moolya, FIM, and Hudson Agile Ventures, I reduced authentication p99 latency from 900ms to 220ms, cut peak API latency by 40%, and built scalable logistics and food-ordering systems.

I lead architecture reviews, incident reviews, and observability improvements, reducing MTTR by 30%. I also mentor engineers, establish quality gates, and share lessons on distributed systems and OpenTelemetry with the community.
