What I'm looking for

I seek senior backend/cloud roles where I can lead teams, design scalable microservices, automate infra with IaC, and drive reliability and performance in cloud-native environments.

I am a Senior Backend Tech Lead with 13+ years building high-performance distributed systems using Golang, cloud-native AWS architectures, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines. I lead engineering teams, design microservices, and deliver production-ready APIs that handle billions of requests monthly.

My work spans fintech and security products where I designed system architectures, implemented microservices migrations, built infra-as-code and observability stacks, and mentored engineers. I focus on scalable, reliable systems, automation, and delivering measurable business outcomes.
