What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles where I can design cloud-native systems, lead cross-functional teams, mentor engineers, and deliver user-focused, scalable products with strong CI/CD and observability.

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 led architecture and end-to-end development for Backup-as-a-Service in IBM Cloud, drove automation and CI/CD best practices, and contributed to internal developer platforms that accelerated delivery.

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.
