What I'm looking for

I’m seeking senior engineering roles building secure, scalable cloud-native systems in fintech, healthcare, or telecom—focusing on microservices, AI/ML, CI/CD, and collaborative teams that value quality and timely delivery.

I am a senior software engineer with 14 years of experience across Telecom, Healthcare, and Fintech domains, designing software solutions and web applications to meet diverse customer requirements. I build cloud-native microservices and full-stack systems using Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript and modern cloud platforms, delivering measurable results such as reducing network downtime by 30% and increasing mobile adoption by 25%.

I emphasize clean code, CI/CD, security and compliance (HIPAA, PCI DSS), and collaborative delivery, having led projects with Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, Kafka, and AI/ML tools like TensorFlow and OpenAI. I seek opportunities to architect resilient systems, mentor teams, and drive timely, quality-focused delivery.
