What I'm looking for

I seek a role building scalable backend and cloud-native systems, collaborating cross-functionally, mentoring engineers, and delivering measurable product improvements.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with eight years of experience building scalable healthtech and media streaming systems, improving performance and reliability for millions of users. I design and implement backend services (Python, Django, Go), frontend components (React, TypeScript), and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes) to deliver high-availability products and streamlined payment and messaging flows.

I have led projects that processed tens of thousands of daily transactions, integrated with EHR systems via FHIR/HL7, and scaled services to support thousands of concurrent users while mentoring junior engineers. I focus on robust architecture, data-driven improvements, and cross-functional collaboration to drive measurable business outcomes.
