What I'm looking for

I'm looking for fully remote roles or on-site and hybrid opportunities with employer-sponsored international relocation. I can start immediately and want to build backend, data engineering, and cloud products with meaningful production impact.

At FactSet Research Systems, I've built and operated production data services, REST APIs, and automation supporting financial-data products. I helped lead a client usage-tracking platform that turned log data into insights used for product lifecycle decisions.

I've delivered an on-premise SQL Server-to-AWS migration, building Python data-loading services for Amazon S3 and Apache Parquet while moving SQL logic to AWS Athena. I also modernised production Perl automation into Python and maintained business-critical databases and workflows.

I build full-stack products independently, including EnglishPal, an AI-powered English voice assistant using React, TypeScript, Node.js, AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, Cognito, Groq, and AWS CDK. I own testing, CI/CD, and production deployment across GitHub Actions, Vercel, and AWS.

I'm also building EsportsLens, an event-driven serverless analytics platform using AWS Lambda, EventBridge, Glue, PySpark, Athena, FastAPI, and React. I bring 3.5 years of professional experience across data engineering and backend development, with Python as my primary language.
