Projects done

I am a System Architect and DevOps Engineer with over 14 years of experience building scalable backend systems and cloud infrastructure. My work focuses on designing reliable platforms, distributed systems, and automation frameworks that enable engineering teams to build, deploy, and operate software at scale.

My experience spans monolithic architectures, microservices, and event-driven systems, allowing me to choose the most appropriate architectural approach based on system complexity, scale, and operational requirements. I have also designed event-driven platforms using message queues and streaming systems to enable scalable, loosely coupled services across distributed environments.

I have also worked on core infrastructure systems including CDN delivery platforms, DNS services, and cloud-native deployment environments that support high-traffic applications and globally distributed systems.

In addition to my engineering work, I spent three years serving as a Technical Director, where I led engineering teams, defined system architecture, and drove the technical direction of large-scale platforms.

I enjoy simplifying complex systems and designing architectures that are resilient, maintainable, and built for long-term scalability.
