What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role building scalable backend and AI-integrated products with a collaborative, results-driven team, clear ownership, and cloud-first practices.

I am a Senior Software Engineer and Technical Lead with 6+ years building scalable, high-performance applications across Node.js and Python ecosystems. I specialize in designing RESTful APIs, microservices, real-time systems, and end-to-end web and mobile solutions using modern frontend frameworks.

I have successfully delivered 20+ projects and led remote and onsite teams as a Technical Lead and Project Manager, overseeing PRDs, sprint planning, architecture decisions, code reviews, and delivery of 40+ high-impact features. I architected AI-driven event-based microservices, integrated ML pipelines and ChatGPT APIs, and implemented CI/CD and infrastructure automation with Docker, Terraform, and cloud platforms.

My work has produced measurable business impact, including a 25% reduction in average moving time and enabling 5,000+ successful moves in six months. I mentor engineers, enforce best practices, and focus on reliable, performant deployments across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Heroku.
