What I'm looking for

I seek backend/cloud roles where I can build scalable, cost-efficient systems, improve observability, and drive reliable CI/CD in a collaborative, growth-focused team.

I am a backend software engineer with hands-on experience designing and implementing scalable, high-availability systems on AWS. I have driven performance improvements—transforming CMS response times, scaling ingestion pipelines to process thousands of products daily, and maintaining 99.9% uptime—while reducing costs through cloud optimization.

I build serverless and containerized services with Node.js/TypeScript, design efficient databases and caching layers, and implement observability and CI/CD to ensure reliability. My projects include large-scale data ingestion, horizontally scalable chat systems, and automated scraping pipelines, and I hold an AWS Cloud Practitioner certification.
