About

As a Lead Software Engineer with 14+ years of experience, I design and deliver large-scale software solutions across mobile, real-time communication, Voice AI, fintech, mobility, and connected-device platforms. Throughout my career, I have progressed from engineering individual features to leading architecture, driving technical decisions, mentoring engineers, conducting technical interviews, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to build scalable, production-ready systems. I have previously worked in Principal Engineer roles and currently lead the design and delivery of complex engineering initiatives. My technical expertise includes Android, Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, WebRTC, LiveKit, Matrix/Trixnity, real-time messaging, Voice AI, modular architectures, performance optimization, and distributed client-server applications. I enjoy solving challenging engineering problems involving scalability, reliability, low-latency communication, and system architecture. I work closely with product, design, backend, QA, and business stakeholders, and have represented engineering teams during customer demonstrations and technical discussions with enterprise clients. I'm currently broadening my expertise in backend engineering, distributed systems, PostgreSQL, Redis, cloud-native architectures, and system design to build end-to-end platforms that scale across millions of users. I'm always interested in discussing software architecture, platform engineering, real-time communication, AI-powered products, and opportunities where technology can solve meaningful business problems.
