What I'm looking for

I seek backend or platform roles focused on scalable distributed systems, AWS deployments, and opportunities to improve reliability and performance in collaborative teams.

I am a senior backend developer with experience building and maintaining high-scale distributed systems, web crawlers, and AWS-deployed services. I have led development and release processes, migrated critical systems for resilience, and optimized services for peak traffic.

My work includes designing a distributed crawler that processes millions of pages per day using Scrapy, Frontera and Scrapoxy, migrating message and storage layers to improve stability with HBase and Kaa, and implementing AWS EventBridge/Lambda-based email scheduling services. I have also contributed to large-scale notification and ad-integration work at a major retail site.

I value pragmatic engineering, scalable architectures, and measurable impact; I contribute to open source and hold a patent related to photo-editing recommendations, reflecting my focus on applied machine learning and product-facing systems.
