About Me

Who I Am

Architecture-Driven Engineering

Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience designing and delivering high-performance distributed systems across FinTech, Healthcare, Insurance, and SaaS platforms. I specialize in backend architecture (Go, Python, Node.js), cloud-native systems (AWS), and production-grade frontend applications (React, Next.js, TypeScript).

I build systems with Clean Architecture principles, Domain-driven design, API-first development (REST & GraphQL), event-driven pipelines (Kafka, SQS, Lambda), infrastructure automation (Docker, ECS, Kubernetes), and Blue/Green & zero-downtime deployments.

Expertise in AI/ML integration including Generative AI, LLMs, NLP, RAG pipelines, LangChain, OpenAI APIs, and HuggingFace transformers. I build intelligent systems that leverage cutting-edge AI capabilities.

My engineering principles: Systems over features, reliability over hype, observability by default, secure-by-design, and performance as a feature. Code is a liability unless well-tested.

Scalable Architecture

Designing microservices architectures, event-driven systems with high reliability, and cloud-native development on AWS.

Security & Compliance

Building secure, compliant systems (SOC2, HIPAA) with performance optimization and observability by default.

CI/CD & DevOps

Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD pipelines, Docker, Kubernetes, and zero-downtime deployment strategies.
