What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a senior backend or full-stack role where I can lead teams, build high-performance APIs, drive CI/CD and testing practices, focus on scalability and security, and mentor developers in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment (remote or hybrid considered).

I build high-performance web and enterprise applications focused on scalable solutions, clean code, and strong user experiences. I have driven measurable results — reducing API response times by 95% (500ms to 24ms), improving maintainability by 40%, and cutting production bugs by 70% through test-driven development and CI/CD.

I lead cross-functional engineering teams and manage end-to-end deployment pipelines to ensure high availability and regulatory compliance, delivering zero-downtime releases and 99.9% system uptime. I mentor junior developers, architect integration solutions with government and financial systems, and prioritize security, performance, and long-term maintainability.
