What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead product engineering, drive reliability and DevOps excellence, mentor teams, and build scalable systems with measurable business impact.

I am a lead software developer with a track record of delivering production products rapidly and improving system reliability through strong engineering practices, DevOps, and mentorship. I have led end-to-end development of scalable platforms, reduced time-to-market, cut recurring production errors, and lowered operational costs by self-hosting critical infrastructure.

I bring hands-on expertise across frontend and backend stacks, cloud services, monitoring, and automation, and I foster developer productivity through code standards, reviews, and tooling. I have also driven product growth with high-conversion landing pages, automated data pipelines, and serverless automation to streamline business workflows.
