I am a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years building production-grade systems. I specialize in Java, Spring Boot, Rails, Node.js, TypeScript, and Python across cloud-native and AI-driven environments. I design Rails 7 backends with clean domain boundaries, resilient background processing, real-time updates, and smart caching. I have hands-on experience with microservices, RESTful APIs, and distributed systems on AWS and GCP. I enjoy turning complex requirements into scalable architectures and leading teams to deliver measurable business value. My focus includes AI/LLM engineering with deterministic workflows, prompt orchestration, and model integration using Cohere, plus frontend work with React, Next.js, and Angular. I advocate for clean architecture, automation, and developer experience, and I like shipping secure, high-performance systems that scale globally. I thrive in cross-functional collaboration and mentoring engineering teams.
