I’m a results-driven senior backend engineer architecting scalable, high-performance systems and improving efficiency and cost.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Senior Software Engineer with 14+ years of expertise architecting, scaling, and optimizing complex backend systems. I lead cross-functional teams to modernize legacy codebases, integrate third-party services, and deliver measurable performance gains (10–50% improvements in efficiency, speed, and cost reduction).
In recent roles, I’ve owned full deployment lifecycles and reliability, optimized MySQL/Redis/Elasticsearch queries, and implemented monitoring/logging with Prometheus/Grafana and BetterStack. I also drive engineering process—initiating CI/CD-based SDLC, setting up quality tooling (ESLint, SonarQube), mentoring junior developers, and building scalable microservices and gRPC services.
