What I'm looking for

I seek roles building low-latency, scalable trading or financial platforms where I can lead backend, distributed systems, and cloud modernization efforts while applying AI/ML.

I am a Senior Backend Engineer with 13 years of experience designing and building low-latency trading platforms and enterprise systems for global financial markets.

I have led cross-regional teams and delivered high-performance platforms, including an eTrading platform for government securities and corporate bonds supporting multi-billion-dollar daily volumes.

My technical strengths include backend engineering, distributed systems, cloud-native modernization, and applying AI/ML to financial systems; I hold certifications from Stanford University, DeepLearning.AI, and AWS.

I create technical content at OopsCoder.com and focus on system design, performance optimization, and building resilient, scalable systems using technologies like Java, Kafka, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms.
