Skilled in event-driven architecture using Kafka and Redis to deliver high-performance, production-grade systems at scale. As a senior engineer, I own end-to-end technical delivery from solution architecture through implementation and long-term maintainability. I have hands-on experience building and architecting distributed systems on AWS and Google Cloud infrastructure, designing for high availability, fault tolerance, and horizontal scalability. I lead technical solutioning from concept through production, balancing performance, scalability, and cost. As a certified Google Cloud Engineer, I bring deep expertise in GCP services including Compute Engine, GKE, Cloud Storage, BigQuery, Cloud Functions, and Pub/Sub, alongside strong proficiency in Kubernetes for container orchestration. I maintain CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and prioritize observability using Prometheus, Grafana, and CloudWatch. I've expanded my focus into AI engineering architecting and deploying LLM-powered and generative AI solutions, including RAG systems, semantic search, and document intelligence pipelines using OpenAI, LangChain, and AWS Textract, as well as GPT-powered workflows and AI chatbots. I approach AI capabilities as first-class components of scalable systems rather than bolt-ons. My foundation extends into Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, with a solid grasp of cloud security, compliance, and network architecture, underpinned by automation scripting in Python and Bash. Stepping into this senior role, I'm drawn to its broader challenges leading architecture across complex distributed systems, mentoring engineers, shaping technical direction at a platform level, and helping teams navigate AI tooling responsibly. I see this as an opportunity to drive impact beyond code building the systems, standards, and people that make great engineering possible at scale. A collaborative problem solver, I thrive in agile, cross-functional environments where technical rigor meets business impact.Results-driven Full Stack Developer with 5+ years of experience in designing and developing modern web applications using JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, ReactJS, NextJS, NodeJS,, Xano and NestJS.
