What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own end-to-end SaaS delivery—improving reliability, scalability, and developer productivity through strong architecture, CI/CD, and observability, while partnering cross-functionally on roadmap and safe, measurable releases.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with more than 10 years of experience building and operating customer-facing SaaS platforms. I focus on reliability, scalability, and developer productivity—using TypeScript, JavaScript, Golang, and Node.js to deliver dependable systems at scale.

I’ve led high-impact migrations to React and NextJs with TypeScript, including architecting backend services in Node.js and Golang. On one core platform, I consolidated legacy endpoints into a single PostgreSQL-backed API, reducing API error rate by 47%, and optimized SQL queries to cut median transaction latency by 40%.

I build with modern CI/CD and infrastructure practices, implementing automated pipelines with Argo and Terraform while preserving rollback safety. I also improve operational excellence through observability (DataDog, New Relic, Amplitude, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry), creating alerts and runbooks that reduced mean time to detect by 55% and mean time to repair by 30%.

I enjoy mentoring teams, standardizing architecture patterns, and partnering across engineering, product, and security to ship improvements safely and consistently. I bring strong cross-team skills—designing microservices, event-driven workflows, and cloud-native integrations on Google Cloud with Docker and Kubernetes.
