What I'm looking for

I seek remote-friendly roles building scalable backend systems and cloud-native services, with opportunities for technical leadership, performance optimization, and cross-functional collaboration.

I am a software engineer focused on building production-ready systems using Go and modern web technologies, with experience across fintech and healthcare domains. I design scalable backend systems, APIs, and data pipelines while prioritizing security and performance.

I have delivered full-stack features and optimized API responses in remote, cross-timezone teams, and independently built a production-ready commerce platform handling financial transactions. I hold cloud certifications and practical experience with AWS, GCP, Docker, PostgreSQL, Redis, and authentication best practices.

I communicate effectively in distributed teams, contribute to CI/CD and agile processes, and seek roles where I can continue to architect reliable services, improve system performance, and mentor peers while driving product impact.
