What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role focused on backend and distributed systems where I can build scalable microservices, improve performance, and mentor teams while working within a collaborative, engineering-driven culture.

I am a backend-focused software engineer with six years of experience designing and optimizing scalable, multi-tenant systems.

I specialize in Golang, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript and have delivered high-throughput microservices, event-driven architectures, and database optimizations that reduced costs and improved performance.

I have led migrations, built CI/CD pipelines, implemented compliance-related audit logging, and mentored teams while tackling complex technical challenges.

I deliver measurable impact — from 5x throughput improvements and large reductions in latency and startup time to meaningful cost savings — and seek opportunities to continue building reliable, high-performance distributed systems.
