About

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience designing, building, and scaling distributed backend systems that power high-traffic, business-critical applications. I’ve led architecture, technical direction, and end-to-end delivery of platforms—from system design and development to production deployment and operational excellence. I enjoy solving complex engineering challenges and collaborating with Product, business stakeholders, external partners, and cross-functional engineering teams to build scalable, reliable, and resilient solutions. I’m passionate about mentoring engineers, promoting engineering best practices, and designing systems that are highly available, observable, and built to scale. My expertise spans Java, Go, Python, AWS, microservices, distributed systems, event-driven architectures, system design, Kubernetes, WebSockets, SQL and NoSQL databases, event buses, message queues, Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, and modern AI technologies, with a strong focus on building scalable, resilient, and cloud-native backend platforms.
