I’m a Senior Backend & Cloud Engineer with a strong infrastructure background, specializing in scalable APIs, distributed systems, and production-grade cloud architecture. I started my career building customer-facing backend systems in PHP (Symfony), React applications, and Chrome extensions, while maintaining the Linux servers running them. I then progressed into a dedicated DevOps role where I operated as the sole infrastructure engineer, managing large bare-metal environments, multi-node Elasticsearch clusters (up to 70 nodes), multiple 20+ node Kubernetes clusters, MongoDB databases, and full monitoring stacks. Today, I design and maintain cloud-native backend systems across AWS and GCP, building high-performance APIs in Go and operating Kubernetes environments (EKS/GKE), IoT integrations, event-driven systems, and secure VPC architectures. What sets me apart is full-stack ownership — from application code to networking, infrastructure, observability, and production reliability. I’m comfortable operating at scale, working autonomously, and making architectural decisions that balance performance, cost, and long-term maintainability. If you’re looking for someone who understands both code and infrastructure deeply — and can take responsibility for systems end-to-end — I can help.
