Senior software engineer specializing in cloud-native microservices and user-focused full-stack solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior software engineer with over 10 years of experience building cloud-native microservices and React frontends at IBM and Cratejoy, focused on delivering resilient, scalable, user-friendly solutions.

I have a strong track record across backend, frontend and platform engineering—designing microservice architectures, improving observability, and enabling developer productivity. I mentor engineers, collaborate cross-functionally with product and SRE teams, and continually emphasize test-driven Agile practices and operational excellence.
