What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Backend / Full-Stack Engineer with 8+ years of experience designing and delivering production-grade, low-latency backend systems and enterprise web applications, primarily for fintech and SaaS domains.

Throughout my career I have led monolith-to-microservices decompositions, achieved an ~80% reduction in critical API response times through refactoring and caching, and built monitoring and alerting solutions that improved operational productivity. I collaborate across product, DevOps, QA, and frontend teams, mentor junior engineers, and focus on clean architecture, performance tuning, and delivering reliable production systems for banking and fintech clients.
