What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior engineering roles focusing on scalable cloud-native systems, technical leadership, strong DevOps practices, and opportunities to mentor teams and improve system reliability.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience building full-stack web platforms, leading teams, and designing cloud-native architectures. I focus on delivering reliable, high-performance systems that scale for enterprise usage.

At BluePixel Labs I led a team of six engineers to build a multi-tenant SaaS platform serving 1.5M+ users, architecting microservices on AWS ECS and Lambda and cutting deployment times by 70% while reducing infrastructure costs.

My technical strengths include modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Next.js), backend services in Node.js, Python and Go, and robust DevOps practices with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines. I introduced hybrid GraphQL/REST APIs and reusable front-end component libraries to improve performance and developer efficiency.

I hold AWS and Kubernetes certifications and a B.S. in Computer Science. I mentor engineers, run code reviews, and prioritize maintainable designs and measurable performance improvements that translate into customer value.
