What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on engineering role building scalable, cloud-native systems where I can improve performance, reliability, and mentoring culture while working with modern DevOps and observability practices.

I am a results-driven software engineer with over 8 years of experience building and maintaining high-performance full-stack applications using Python (Flask, FastAPI), React, and cloud technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS. I have led system architecture, improved API performance, implemented observability stacks, and driven scalable solutions that significantly reduced backend load and incident resolution times.

Throughout my career I have delivered measurable impact—optimizing ETL throughput, reducing API latency by 40%, enabling autoscaling to cut backend load by 90%, and introducing testing and CI/CD best practices to raise release confidence. I collaborate across global teams, mentor peers, and focus on clear, maintainable code to support reliable, production-grade systems.
