What I'm looking for

I seek a senior backend or cloud-focused role where I can design scalable, real-time systems, mentor engineers, and deliver measurable performance and cost improvements.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 9+ years designing high-performance systems for travel, traffic, and data-intensive domains, focused on building resilient cloud-native architectures and real-time pipelines.

I've led projects that reduced latency by up to 60%, supported 50% traffic surges with serverless designs, and processed terabytes of customer data using Python and Apache Spark, directly enabling new revenue and improving reliability.

I mentor junior engineers, promote best practices in observability and error handling, and deliver pragmatic solutions using AWS, Kubernetes, Kafka, and microservices to drive measurable business impact.
