What I'm looking for

I seek backend or systems roles building scalable, high-concurrency services with Go and cloud-native tooling, improving observability and CI/CD, contributing to open-source, and expanding work in ML/AI and MLOps.

I am a software engineer focused on building high-concurrency, low-latency backend systems using Go, Python and modern cloud-native tooling. I enjoy architecting resilient microservices and shipping reliable APIs that support real user experiences.

I have delivered measurable results across production systems — implementing OpenTelemetry to reduce incident response time by 30%, optimizing AWS usage to cut costs by 25%, and architecting an enterprise Nedap access-control migration that reduced migration time to 8:49 minutes through mathematical batch-size optimization. I have built payment gateway integrations, event-driven microservices, and CI/CD pipelines to improve deployment velocity and system reliability.

I work across the stack with databases, ML tooling and observability — PostgreSQL, Redis, Pinecone/Weaviate, Docker, Kubernetes, SageMaker, MLflow and Weights & Biases — and I actively contribute to open-source projects. I seek roles where I can continue scaling systems, improve operational excellence, and apply ML/AI where it drives product value.
