About

Backend Engineer with 6 years of experience building scalable backend systems, production-grade APIs, and distributed services using Golang and Python. My recent work focuses on backend systems powering a global-scale safety education platform used by millions of drivers and delivery partners, where I’ve worked on gRPC APIs, microservices integrations, multi-region service flows, clean architecture refactoring, and observability improvements in production environments. Previously, I worked on backend API development, microservices migrations, enterprise integrations, and AI-powered document extraction workflows, with hands-on experience across REST APIs, FastAPI, Flask, distributed systems, debugging, and performance optimization. I’m currently exploring opportunities in Backend Engineering / Platform Engineering where I can contribute to scalable systems, reliability-focused architecture, and strong engineering fundamentals.
