About

Backend & platform engineer with 3+ years of experience building large-scale distributed systems, leading cloud migrations, and designing high-throughput event pipelines. I’ve led multi-quarter AWS→GCP migrations for revenue-critical services, built cloud-agnostic abstractions, and delivered major cost, reliability, and performance improvements across engineering teams. My experience spans: • Distributed systems & microservices • Cloud modernization (AWS, GCP) • IaC with Terraform, Helm, Kubernetes • Real-time messaging (Kafka, Pub/Sub), Protobuf • Performance optimization & database tuning • Event-driven architecture & data pipelines • Ruby on Rails, Kotlin, Java I enjoy solving complex backend problems, improving system reliability, and designing architecture that scales across teams.
