What I'm looking for

I’m seeking senior engineering roles focused on cloud-native backend systems, microservices, and DevOps culture where I can mentor teams and drive reliability, performance, and automation.

I am a Senior Full Stack Engineer with 10 years building scalable backend systems, designing data pipelines, and improving DevOps practices across AWS and Azure. I focus on cloud-native microservices, secure API design, and performance optimization.

I have hands-on experience with Python, Go, C#, Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD tools, and I’ve led migrations, refactors, and real-time streaming projects that improved reliability and reduced latency and deployment times.

I mentor engineers, promote Agile and DevOps culture, and deliver measurable improvements in system performance, developer productivity, and operational resilience.
