What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build scalable back-end systems, improve reliability and developer velocity, mentor teams, and deliver measurable product and business impact in fast-growing environments.

I am a senior software engineer with 3+ years of experience building and scaling systems for enterprise customers, having shipped backend services, APIs, and production features end-to-end. My work focuses on improving performance, reducing operational costs, and ensuring high availability for real-time workflows.

At IDfy I integrated AI-driven transcription for post-video KYC, engineered conditional profile allocation, refactored critical microservices to boost developer velocity, and consistently met 99.9% SLAs for high-throughput platforms. I also designed archival services that improved API response times and delivered onboarding workflows that helped onboard large clients.

I enjoy creating products from scratch in startup-like environments while ensuring they scale reliably; I mentor junior engineers, contribute to open-source Elixir/Go projects, and founded rapid-MVP initiatives to validate real-world ideas quickly.
