What I'm looking for

I seek a backend or full-stack role using Go, Docker and CI/CD to build scalable, low-latency systems, apply ML/AI features, and grow into technical leadership on collaborative, agile teams.

I am a software engineer focused on building scalable backend systems and AI-driven web applications, applying Clean Architecture and performance optimization to reduce complexity and latency.

During a Software Engineering internship I designed and delivered optimized backend services in Go (Gin), reduced API latency by 40% and automated deployments with Docker to achieve zero downtime. I completed a rigorous DSA curriculum (A2SV), solved 500+ problems on LeetCode and Codeforces, and have strong grounding in system design and algorithms.

I have built production-ready projects with JWT/OAuth authentication, AI-driven content moderation, 91% test coverage, Redis caching and Dockerized deployments achieving high uptime. I lead small engineering teams and organize technical workshops, and I seek opportunities to contribute backend, DevOps, and ML-driven product work in collaborative, agile environments.
