What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Backend Engineer with 9.5 years of experience designing, scaling, and maintaining distributed systems. I specialize in event-driven architectures, data persistence modeling, and building fault-tolerant microservices for high-throughput environments, guiding technical strategy through RFCs/ADRs and operational resilience.
Recently, I integrated AI-agentic workflows to automate cross-repository integration and reduce engineering overhead. I’ve led migrations from legacy monoliths, engineered identity resolution across 500k+ records, and improved availability and reliability (99.95% uptime) using Datadog, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry.
