About

Engineering Leader with 11+ years of experience building and scaling high-traffic consumer platforms, with a focus on backend architecture and distributed systems at internet scale.

My work delivered reliable, revenue-critical systems while improving team efficiency and driving measurable business outcomes. Passionate about mentoring engineers, building high-ownership teams, and collaborating with Product, Operations, and Business stakeholders to ship systems that scale. Open to Engineering Manager or Lead Backend Engineer roles where I can combine strong technical foundations with people leadership and delivery excellence.
