What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, observable cloud-native systems with strong CI/CD, mentorship opportunities, and impactful product collaboration.

I am a senior software engineer with 9+ years building scalable, cloud-native systems and real-time platforms across gaming, fintech, healthcare, and Web3. I design and implement microservices, high-throughput data pipelines, and reliable CI/CD workflows using Node.js, Python, FastAPI, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code.

I take a pragmatic, solution-oriented approach focused on performance, observability, and developer experience. I have delivered systems handling hundreds of thousands of requests per second, led cross-functional integrations, mentored junior engineers, and drove deployment automation that reduced release time and improved reliability.
