Senior Backend / Platform Engineer with 11+ years of experience building and operating distributed, high-scale, and regulated systems.
I’ve worked as a technical founder, engineering lead, and hands-on backend engineer across fintech, SaaS, and US-based venture-backed startups. I enjoy building systems where speed, reliability, and ownership actually matter.

- Cloud infrastructure on AWS (production ownership, scaling, migrations)
- High-volume data platforms (payments, compliance, taxation, analytics)

- Developer velocity & tooling (CI/CD, observability, automation)
- Building an AI-powered GST taxation & litigation platform
- AI-assisted document analysis and semantic search
- Workflow orchestration using n8n
- Backend architecture that balances startup speed with production reliability
- Shipping value early and iterating fast
- Designing systems that survive real production pressure
- Clear ownership over process-heavy coordination
- Developer experience as a force multiplier
- Monitoring, SLAs, and observability as enablers of speed — not overhead
