Building scalable, user-centric systems.
A Senior Software, AI & Cloud Engineer with over a decade of experience building, deploying, and scaling production-grade software systems.
I design and build intelligent, event-driven, real-time, and distributed systems—from user-facing applications and AI-powered workflows to the cloud infrastructure that runs them. Experienced with AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, Monitoring, CI/CD, and cloud-native architectures, I focus on creating platforms that are scalable, resilient, observable, and cost-efficient.
I bring an end-to-end engineering mindset: translating product requirements into robust software, designing reliable architectures, integrating AI where it creates meaningful value, and automating the infrastructure and delivery pipelines required to run systems reliably in production.
Live Products
A few of production-grade products I have worked on
- MAP GIS Mining - SaaS
SymxAI Asset Tracking
Designed and built real-time inventory (trucks and loaders on mine site) tracking on a live map with Geolocators, using CesiumJS, React, TypeScript, and short-polling in Node.js. This showed the location of each asset as well as its operational and engine statuses in real time.

About
My Philosophy
I'm a senior full-stack engineer who believes the best software comes from understanding the problem deeply before writing code. Over eight years I've built real-time analytics platforms, content and podcast systems, multi-tenant fintech products, and industrial inspection tools — each time focusing on reliable APIs, performant UIs, and systems that support real-world workflows.
I care about clean abstractions, type safety, and shipping systems that scale. I'm most energized when owning systems end-to-end — from product requirements to production deployment — and working with teams that value both engineering depth and user impact.
