About Me


I have over 7+ years of experience as a software engineer, and have worked at both small startups and large organizations. While I'm a proficient backend developer and a technical lead for a full featured team, my expertise is in building scalable backend services (API services, stream processing, and async mechanisms).

I love building things and I’m sort of microservices aficionado with some soft skills as well. While hard engineering problems are often intrinsically fun to tackle, I'm most attracted to solving real customer problems with a business justification. I'm looking for a senior individual contributor role where I can take on on collaborative team leadership responsibilites, and gain experience with architecture and project management.

Highlights

  • Successfully build scalable and resilient integration/ETL microservice to replace old integration tool with performance issues. The solution has proven to work in parameters even with 20 concurrent requests.
  • Presented research and proof-of-concept to convince steackholsers and senior leadership to move from old AKKA solution to a more robust one using ActiveMQ and Redis services hosted in AWS; reduced the horizontal scalability need by 60% and run up to 10x faster.
  • Active involved in a full lifecycle of a big e-commerce project starting from architecture phase to live launch
  • Actively involved in architectural decisions to redesign a Lead Generation System to a more robust solution which generated around $1 mil/yr

Interests


My personal interests include:

  • Mobile platforms programming. As the mobile applications trend is currently on a hype i find it is an exciting time for mobile applications programming. I’m working through several online classes, and building a production ready mobile iOS application
  • Basketball. I’ve been growing up playing basketball as an amateur player and i kept this hobby all the way through adulthood. I enjoy spending the weekends on the court balling with my friends.
  • Deep learning. It's an exciting time for machine learning. I'm working through several online classes, and swap articles with collegues.
