I'm a backend-focused software engineer with 3.5+ years of experience designing and operating distributed, cloud-native systems in financial and enterprise environments. I build event-driven microservices, optimize high-throughput transaction workflows, and deploy secure infrastructure on AWS and GCP. I bring hands-on experience with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines and production-grade CI/CD automation, plus a strong foundation in concurrency, data modeling, API design, and reliability engineering. I thrive on building resilient, observable, and performance-efficient systems that perform under real-world constraints.
