Technical Architect · Python & Node.js · API-first REST APIs · OAuth2/JWT · Docker · Low-Latency Systems

Technical architect / backend engineer with 12+ years building and modernizing systems across finance/trading, food-tech,aviation, e-commerce, and storage platforms. I am strongest in system design, performance tuning, and taking legacy services to stable, observable, scalable platforms on AWS. I have built data-heavy pipelines (including market data feeds / broker APIs) and shipped latency-critical improvements (e.g., reducing a sync flow from ~40 minutes to seconds with distributed caching). I enjoy building API-first platforms with secure authentication (OAuth2/JWT), integration-heavy workflows (including webhook receivers), and multi-tenant SaaS patterns that hold up well in production. I like owning problems end-to-end: architecture, delivery, and production support.
