What I'm looking for

I seek senior backend or architecture roles where I can design scalable, reliable systems, modernise platforms, reduce costs, and mentor engineering teams.

I am an experienced and driven backend architect with a strong track record of building complex, scalable systems from scratch and modernizing legacy platforms. I deliver functional and non-functional requirements — including performance, reliability, and maintainability — through clean architecture, well-engineered solutions, collaboration and deep domain understanding.

My recent work includes architecting air supply systems, supply fulfilment, cache optimisation, and hotel extranet capabilities, leading capacity planning for high-traffic sales events, reducing GCP costs by ~25%, modernising Java stacks, and mentoring senior engineers to raise technical standards.
