What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior engineering roles where I can build scalable backend systems, automation solutions, and cloud-native deployments, collaborate closely with product and client teams, and continue growing in DevOps and automation.

I am a Lead Software Engineer and Consultant with 6.5+ years of experience building web applications, automation bots, and backend systems across startups and MNCs. I design databases, write APIs, implement test suites, and integrate third-party services to deliver reliable production systems.

My work spans Django, FastAPI, Go, Kafka, Robot Framework and cloud deployments on GCP/GKE; I have developed automation for large telecom clients, built discovery plugins with schema evolution, and delivered Django-based products integrated with frontend frameworks and messaging APIs. I have received spotlight awards for automation and core-logic contributions.

I collaborate directly with clients and cross-functional teams, conduct R&D for integrations (Slack, Discord, Twitter, Gmail), and focus on maintainable, tested code and scalable deployments using Docker, Kubernetes, and managed databases.
