What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote-first, documentation-driven team where I can build scalable backend systems and production AI workflows with strict quality guardrails, reliable CI/CD, and automated verification to ship fast without regressions.

I’m a highly analytical Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years building scalable backend architectures, high-volume APIs, and robust database optimization. I design system specs, break down complex execution plans, and automate CI/CD deployment pipelines to help teams ship safely and repeatedly.

I bring deep AI fluency into production by embedding agentic workflows—Spec → Plan → Execute → Verify—alongside automated verification loops. In practice, I use guardrails, testing, and verification strategies to accelerate delivery while preventing regressions, especially in content management and high-throughput notification systems.

Across roles from remote-first startups to contract work, I’ve led partner integrations and maintained high-scale microservices on AWS, improving onboarding time (by 60%) and throughput (by 40%). I’m strongest where clear boundaries, reliable data integrity, and dependable automation are essential.
