What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a cloud-native role where I can lead API and microservices development, strengthen reliability and security, mentor engineers, and ship measurable improvements with clean code in an Agile team.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 9+ years delivering robust, cloud native applications across healthcare, logistics, fintech, and e-commerce. I build secure, scalable systems with backend expertise in Python (Django, Flask), Node.js (Nest.js, Express.js), C# (.NET Core, ASP.NET), Java (Spring Boot), and PHP (Laravel), while leveraging modern frontend frameworks like React, Next.js, Angular, Vue.js, and TypeScript.

I specialize in RESTful, FastAPI, and GraphQL APIs, microservices, and domain-driven design architectures—deploying to AWS, Azure, and GCP with Docker and Kubernetes. In recent roles, I improved system stability by 55%, reduced downtime, cut integration time by 40%, and decreased latency by 50% through PostgreSQL/MongoDB optimization and Redis caching; I’ve also lowered infrastructure costs by 30% and mentored 5 engineers in backend architecture and Agile practices.
