What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead backend and cloud infrastructure efforts, drive cost and performance optimizations, mentor engineers, and build observability-driven, scalable systems.

I am a senior backend engineer with strong expertise in Node.js/TypeScript, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure. I have led backend teams to design and deliver high-availability APIs, real-time features, and scalable architectures supporting 50,000+ daily active users while maintaining rigorous test coverage and code quality.

I drive cost-effective, secure deployments by implementing IaC with Terraform, optimizing AWS resources, migrating CDNs to Cloudflare, and building robust observability stacks (Prometheus, Loki, Grafana, Tempo, New Relic). I mentor engineers, own end-to-end delivery, and automate CI/CD to increase release velocity and system reliability.
