What I'm looking for

I want to design and lead development of scalable, secure systems in collaborative Agile teams, leveraging AI/ML and cloud-native infrastructure to deliver measurable product impact and mentor engineers.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years building scalable, secure full-stack systems in both startup and enterprise environments. I design and ship production-grade services and front-end experiences—optimizing payments, localization, accessibility, and observability—while driving architecture, CI/CD, and infrastructure automation.

I have led Agile teams, mentored engineers, and delivered measurable results: faster load times, higher conversion rates, improved fraud detection, and substantial uptime and deployment improvements. I seek roles where I can architect resilient systems, adopt AI/ML responsibly, and help cross-functional teams deliver impactful products.
