Message

At Octalchip, I architect backend solutions with Python, AWS, and internal gRPC/RPC services, integrating systems including Agent Studio, Semarchy, Snowflake, and Reltio. This work increased feature delivery speed by 25% and reduced inter-service latency by 25%.

I engineered REST and GraphQL APIs with Redis caching, search, event workflows, and data streaming pipelines that supported more than 1M monthly requests with sub-150ms latency. I also optimized cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP, boosting throughput by 40% and maintaining 99.9% uptime.

At Octalchip, I improved database performance by 30% and reduced asynchronous processing delays by 35% for payment wallet and e-commerce transactions. I also implemented CI/CD pipelines that reduced release times by 70%.

Earlier, at Teksun Microsys, I designed embedded software in C and Python for Linux and Yocto-based systems. I engineered and tested firmware, improving device reliability and power efficiency.
