About

With over a decade of experience as a senior software engineer, I specialize in building scalable backend systems and high-performance applications that deliver measurable business impact. My expertise includes Python, distributed systems, cloud technologies, and API development, enabling me to design efficient, reliable solutions at scale. I have architected and optimized backend services for systems used by thousands of users and led small teams to build robust, high-traffic applications. At Esri, I developed RESTful APIs that improved service reliability by ~20%, reduced response latency by 20–25%, and enhanced operational visibility through effective cloud monitoring. I collaborate closely with QA, Product, and UI/UX teams to deliver high-quality features, reducing post-release defects by up to 20%. Core Strengths and Skills - Programming: Python, C#, .NET, React Native - System Design: Distributed systems, scalable APIs, high-performance backend architecture - Cloud Expertise: Observability, performance optimization, and cloud-native systems - Impact with Metrics: Proven track record of improving latency, reliability, and workflows - Technical Leadership: Design discussions, mentoring, and code reviews for maintainable systems I am passionate about solving complex problems, simplifying systems, and building architectures that scale with growth. From designing distributed systems to debugging critical issues and improving reliability, I focus on continuous improvement across the development lifecycle. Technical Skills - Languages: Python, C#, JavaScript (React Native) - Frameworks: .NET, RESTful APIs - Cloud & Systems: AWS (Certified Cloud Practitioner), performance tuning, monitoring - Specialization: Scalable backend systems, data-driven workflows, collaborative engineering With a Master’s in Management Information Systems and a postgraduate degree in AI/ML, combined with hands-on experience, I bring strong technical and analytical skills to translate ideas into production-ready solutions. I continuously learn and adapt to stay ahead of evolving technologies. If you’re looking for a seasoned engineer with strong backend expertise and technical leadership, let’s connect and build impactful solutions together.
