Senior Software Engineer \| Backend Systems \| Distributed Platforms

## About

I am a Senior Software Engineer focused on building scalable backend systems and distributed platforms for real\-time, high\-volume applications\. I have experience designing high\-throughput, fault\-tolerant systems using Java and Python, building REST APIs, and implementing event\-driven architectures with Kafka and asynchronous messaging systems\. My work includes optimizing systems processing millions of daily events and large\-scale datasets, with a focus on scalability, performance, and reliability\. I have also developed cloud\-native applications on AWS using services like S3, SQS, and KMS\. In addition to backend engineering, I have worked with data\-intensive systems using Spark and Databricks to build efficient processing and platform solutions\. Currently, I am exploring applied AI concepts including LLMs, LangChain, and Retrieval\-Augmented Generation \(RAG\)\. I am interested in backend engineering, distributed systems, and platform\-focused roles where I can contribute to building scalable and reliable systems\.
