What I'm looking for

I seek engineering roles where I can build low-latency, scalable systems combining real-time data and AI, in collaborative teams that value performance, quality, and measurable product impact.

I am a Senior Software Developer with experience building scalable, low-latency microservices and real-time platforms for trading, SaaS, and EdTech products. I focus on performance optimization, reliable time-series data ingestion, and robust API and WebSocket integrations.

At Vuetra I implemented QuestDB for high-performance market data storage and optimized indicator computation pipelines for real-time analytics; at Apollofy I increased engagement by 45% and improved API performance by 60% through real-time features and AI-driven product enhancements. I have a track record of improving backend performance, reducing redundancy, and enhancing database efficiency across multiple organizations.

I bring strong full-stack skills in Node.js, Python, modern frontend frameworks, databases, cloud platforms, and container orchestration, and I enjoy building systems that combine real-time data, AI, and great developer UX to drive business outcomes.
