What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building cloud-native, secure, high‑performance systems with strong CI/CD, observability, and collaborative teams that value mentoring and clean architecture.

I am a driven senior full‑stack developer with nine years of experience designing, developing, and delivering scalable web, cloud, and enterprise systems. I specialize in full‑stack development, API design, cloud services (AWS/Azure), databases, and observability, and I mentor teams while advocating SOLID principles, TDD, and clean architecture.

I have led migrations of monolithic systems to microservices, built high‑traffic APIs and real‑time analytics pipelines using Kafka and Redis Streams, and implemented CI/CD, IaC, and robust security/compliance controls (HIPAA, SOC 2). I focus on performance, reliability, and delivering business value through automated pipelines, monitoring, and thoughtful system design.
