Senior software engineer specializing in AI-powered, cloud-scale systems and full-stack delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years leading high-impact technical initiatives, building AI-integrated full-stack products, and scaling systems to serve tens of millions of users. I thrive at turning ambiguous problems into reliable architecture—then shipping with measurable outcomes like conversion lifts, faster processing, and higher satisfaction.
In my recent role, I architected an AI-powered recommendation engine with OpenAI GPT-4 and LangChain to improve client conversion by 35%, and built intelligent document processing with Azure AI Document Intelligence and custom Python pipelines to cut manual processing time by 80%. I also delivered conversational AI features with Azure OpenAI Services (90% user satisfaction in automated support) and implemented real-time analytics at scale using React, TypeScript, and WebSocket serving 10k+ concurrent users.
I bring a strong cloud and platform mindset—designing microservices with Go and gRPC to reduce response time by 45%, building FastAPI + PostgreSQL REST APIs for 100k+ daily requests with sub-200ms latency, and optimizing performance with query tuning and Redis caching (60% faster queries). Across teams, I mentor engineers, lead technical due diligence, and establish CI/CD and observability with Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Prometheus, and Grafana—so products are both innovative and operationally dependable.
