What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead platform or backend teams, drive technical strategy, improve developer experience, and scale critical services.

I am a tech lead and senior developer with 5+ years building internal platforms, scaling tier‑1 services, and turning high‑debt, process‑poor environments into structured, performant systems. I have led full hiring cycles, grown engineers to promotions, managed backlogs independently, and connected technical decisions to P&L to drive product outcomes.

My hands‑on technical work includes launching pricing and licensing modules, implementing organization‑wide GitOps and feature flags, building data lakes with DORA metrics, and optimizing CI/CD pipelines. I work primarily with Go, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kubernetes, ClickHouse, Docker and observability tooling, and I regularly speak about integrations, agents, and no‑code trends.
