About

Experienced Backend Engineer with 6 years of expertise in designing and scaling distributed systems, building secure platform services, and optimizing performance across high-impact domains.

Previously a core contributor to Yubi’s Platforms team, where I led the development of foundational services like Authentication & Authorization, Notification Service, and Audit Logging, using Ruby on Rails, Go (Gin), and Java Spring Boot. Proven success in cloud cost optimization (ECS → EKS migration), cloud-agnostic service design (on-prem / private / public), and API performance tuning (P99/P95). Skilled at driving architectural improvements, compliance readiness, and platform reliability at scale.
