What I'm looking for

I seek a remote or hybrid role building scalable, secure API-driven systems with Golang, Django, Node.js and AWS, on collaborative cross-functional teams where I can drive backend architecture, improve performance, and grow in technical leadership.

I am a highly skilled software engineer with extensive full-stack experience building scalable, efficient applications using Django, Golang, Node.js, React/Next.js, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. I focus on API development, microservices architecture, and cloud-native solutions that deliver reliable performance.

I have developed production-grade systems including RBAC-enabled fintech platforms, messaging integrations with RabbitMQ/Redis/AWS SNS, periodic task orchestration with Celery, Docker containerization and autoscaling, and GPT-driven insights to improve dynamic user data. I routinely optimize database queries, implement security best practices, and prepare clear API documentation.

I enjoy working with cross-functional and distributed teams and have contributed to remote projects across multiple countries. I hold a BSc in Software Engineering and I am motivated to continue solving complex backend and full-stack problems while growing in technical leadership roles.
