I'm a seasoned software engineer with deep expertise across Python, C++, and cloud-native architectures. Over the years I’ve built and led backend systems, designed scalable data pipelines, and delivered robust software in fast-moving domains. I stay up-to-date with modern C++ and Python ecosystems, and I’m passionate about turning complex requirements into reliable, maintainable code. I’ve worked on large-scale data platforms, financial market data processing, and analytics stacks, always aiming to ship high-quality software on time. In recent roles I’ve led data platforms for financial clients, implemented validation and risk scoring for sanction lists, built centralized analytics stacks with PostgreSQL, Azkaban, and Pentaho, and mentored engineers to deliver solutions with pragmatism and collaboration. I thrive in teams that value constructive critique and problem-solving, and I enjoy bridging the gap between business needs and solid technical design.
