What I'm looking for

I seek backend or full-stack roles at growth-oriented teams where I can apply Clean Architecture, scalability best practices, and collaborate across product and engineering to deliver measurable impact.

I am a backend-focused software engineer with hands-on experience building scalable, maintainable systems using Clean Architecture and modern web stacks. I have contributed to multi-tenant school management systems and commercial projects that improved operational efficiency and reduced rework.

My academic training in Software Engineering (CGPA 3.83/4.0) is complemented by selective industry programs including A2SV and Evangadi Academy, where I applied MERN-stack and backend engineering skills to production-grade projects.

As a pragmatic team player and event director for the AWS Cloud Club, I combine technical craftsmanship with leadership, prioritizing modular design, testability, and clear communication to deliver measurable impact.
