My work focuses on reliability, performance, and cost optimization at scale. Key impact: • Improved API response time by 40% using caching & system optimization • Reduced MTTR by 35% via observability (Prometheus, Grafana) • Built async pipelines processing thousands of media assets daily • Migrated microservices to Kubernetes (AWS EKS) Tech stack: Python, Go, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Celery, Kubernetes, AWS I’m interested in backend, platform, and infrastructure roles where scale and system design matter.
