I’m an Engineering Manager with 6+ years of experience leading high-performing teams and delivering scalable cloud-based systems. My focus is backend architecture that scales—especially through microservices—and cross-functional delivery that holds up in production.

As an Engineering Manager at a mid-size SaaS company (2022–Present), I lead a team of 8 engineers delivering backend platform services supporting 1M+ users. I drove migration from monolith to microservices, improving deployment frequency by 3x and reducing incident rates by 40%.

I’ve partnered closely with product and SRE teams to align the roadmap and improve system reliability. I also introduced structured sprint planning and metrics, increasing delivery predictability and strengthening how we plan and execute.

Earlier, as a Senior Software Engineer (2019–2022), I designed and implemented scalable APIs for high-throughput workloads and led architecture to break a monolith into ~25 microservices. I improved system latency by 50% through performance optimizations, mentored junior engineers, and supported hiring efforts.
