What I'm looking for

I seek backend/cloud-focused roles where I can modernize systems, lead technical initiatives, mentor engineers, and improve reliability and scalability using cloud-native and event-driven architectures.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 9+ years focused on backend development, modernizing monoliths into microservices, and building resilient, scalable systems using Golang, Node.js and cloud-native technologies.

I have led projects and mentored engineers while delivering event-driven platforms using Kafka, RabbitMQ and cloud services (AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform). My experience includes migrating monoliths to microservices, implementing observability with Datadog/Prometheus/Grafana, and optimizing workflows with DynamoDB, PostgreSQL and serverless patterns.

I am passionate about solving complex engineering challenges, improving operational reliability, and continuously advancing my technical skills to drive high-impact outcomes for product and engineering teams.
