Looking to bring my AWS expertise and practical problem-solving approach to a team that values both technical excellence and business impact. I'm a backend engineer with a decade of experience building practical cloud solutions. I've designed serverless systems on AWS that balance performance needs with budget realities, while also working across the full stack when needed. My background spans from crafting efficient database designs to building responsive frontends with modern frameworks. Beyond the code, I speak tech in human terms, helping teams and clients understand what we're building and why it matters.
