What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and mentorship opportunities.

As a seasoned software engineer with extensive experience in both startups and large enterprises, I specialize in designing, developing, and deploying scalable solutions leveraging AWS services. My proficiency in programming languages such as JavaScript, Java, Python, and Go allows me to build robust microservice architectures that enhance system efficiency and scalability. I am passionate about agile methodologies, consistently delivering high-quality software through iterative and collaborative processes.

At Amazon, I have developed advanced voice interaction features using Amazon Polly, enhancing user engagement and accessibility. My contributions include integrating neural TTS voices into applications and optimizing real-time voice feedback in high-traffic systems. I also have a strong background in backend development, having designed scalable services with Python and Django, and maintained RESTful APIs for seamless communication across services. My experience at Stripe further honed my skills in fraud detection and AI-powered solutions, where I led projects that significantly improved system efficiency and reduced fraud incidents.

Mentorship is a core aspect of my professional ethos; I take pride in guiding junior developers to achieve technical growth and improve overall team performance. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can contribute to innovative projects and drive impactful results.
