About me

I am a Senior Backend Engineer specializing in distributed backend systems, with extensive experience in JavaScript/Node.js, Go, and AWS cloud infrastructure. Over the years, I have engineered scalable, cloud-native solutions that enforce security and improve operational efficiency for large enterprises. I thrive in building event-driven architectures and asynchronous processing systems that handle millions of records daily.

My professional journey includes leading technical teams and consulting independently to deliver innovative web and cloud solutions. I have designed and launched multi-vendor e-commerce platforms and integrated complex serverless pipelines that significantly reduce manual efforts for clients. I am passionate about leveraging AI-assisted development tools to accelerate productivity while maintaining high engineering standards.

At Capital One, I developed IAM auditing systems that manage over a million roles nightly, ensuring strict security compliance. I actively participate in Agile ceremonies, code reviews, and on-call rotations, contributing to a collaborative and high-performing engineering culture. My experience spans multiple cloud services, infrastructure as code, and containerization technologies.

Previously, I contributed to rapid marketplace growth at Iconfinder.com by scaling ingestion pipelines and supporting revenue growth initiatives. I have also led technical projects for government and nonprofit clients, architecting enterprise CMS solutions and rebuilding critical web platforms.

My early career involved developing web applications that improved customer acquisition and automating complex catalog production processes, demonstrating my ability to deliver impactful solutions across diverse industries. I am fluent in English and have intermediate proficiency in French, which supports my ability to work in international environments.

I am eager to continue driving innovation in backend engineering, focusing on scalable, secure, and efficient cloud-native systems that empower businesses to achieve their goals.
