What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 8 years of experience specializing in scalable backend infrastructure and distributed systems, particularly for enterprise e-commerce and fintech platforms.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led full-stack development projects, including the design of microservices architectures and the implementation of machine learning models.
