What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

I am a highly specialized Senior Software Engineer with over 20 years of experience, consistently at the forefront of cutting-edge technologies. My current focus is on developing highly scalable and maintainable end-to-end solutions using Amazon Web Services, Microservices, Golang, Kotlin, Docker, Kubernetes, and Kafka. Throughout my career, I have successfully worked on diverse projects, including capital finance and payment platforms, gaming applications, and corporate solutions, demonstrating my ability to develop solutions from scratch that cater to a high volume of users.

In my recent role at PayPal, I enhanced the Tsys Platform by migrating legacy Java components to Golang, which significantly improved performance and scalability. I have a proven track record of leading integrations between third-party and internal systems, optimizing CI/CD pipelines, and containerizing workloads for reliable deployments. My experience at Riot Games and LSQ Funding further solidified my expertise in cloud technologies and microservices architecture, where I achieved substantial improvements in deployment efficiency and system performance.

As a team player, I value communication and collaboration, believing that these elements are crucial for successful project delivery. I am passionate about leveraging my technical skills to drive innovation and efficiency in software development, and I am always eager to take on new challenges that push the boundaries of technology.
