What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior engineering roles where I can build cloud-native, AI-enabled full‑stack products, mentor teams, and optimize infrastructure for performance and cost.

I am a senior software engineer with over 7 years of experience building scalable full‑stack and cloud applications, specializing in GCP, Python, React.js and Laravel. I have a proven track record delivering robust production systems and driving performance and cost optimizations.

At Castle Digital I led a team and contributed core development to an AI Tutor app using FastAPI, websockets, Pinecone and the Gemini Live API, and implemented CI/CD pipelines that improved efficiency by 91.7% while cutting cloud costs by 30%.

I mentor junior engineers, collaborate closely with stakeholders, and enjoy architecting end‑to‑end solutions that combine AI, real‑time features, and resilient cloud infrastructure to solve complex problems.
