About

Lead / Staff Backend Engineer with 11+ years of experience building and scaling distributed backend systems. I specialize in Node.js, cloud-native architectures (AWS/GCP), distributed & event-driven systems, and building high-performance APIs that power revenue-critical platforms. I’ve led engineering teams, influenced architecture across domains, and partnered with product and business stakeholders to translate ambiguous requirements into reliable, scalable production systems. I enjoy solving systemic technical challenges, mentoring engineers, and driving best practices in software craftsmanship and operations. I’m actively exploring opportunities where I can own backend architecture, grow teams, and help build products that impact millions of users.
