About
Software Engineering & Performance Specialist with 10+ years of experience transforming performance testing from a checklist into a craft. I specialize in identifying complex system bottlenecks, performance profiling, and capacity engineering across modern web platforms and distributed architectures. I bring deep expertise in load and stress testing using JMeter, Locust, k6, and custom frameworks, paired with root-cause analysis across HTTP, TCP/IP, and application layers. My approach combines automated load generation with hands-on system diagnostics using standard Linux tools (curl, Bash, SSH, grep, htop) alongside observability suites like Grafana, Datadog, and New Relic. Beyond test execution, I integrate automated performance checks directly into CI/CD pipelines to catch latency spikes and regressions early. With a strong foundation in AWS, Kubernetes (EKS/ECS), Docker, Terraform, and API testing (Java, Rest Assured, Postman), I collaborate directly with product and developer teams to plan feature performance, reproduce user-reported edge cases, and build long-term platform reliability. Core Competencies: Performance Engineering | Root-Cause Analysis | JMeter & Locust | HTTP & TCP/IP Protocols | Linux Diagnostics | API Automation (Java, REST) | CI/CD Integration | Kubernetes & Docker | Observability & Profiling
