15+ years of hands-on experience building and scaling large, distributed, cloud-native systems across multiple domains. Over the years, I’ve worked across the full engineering spectrum — from writing low-level optimized code to defining system architecture, technical strategy, and mentoring engineering teams to deliver resilient, high-performance systems at scale. I have led and contributed to mission-critical platforms using Node.js, MongoDB, Redis, Kafka, SQL/NoSQL databases, microservices, and cloud platforms like AWS & GCP. I’ve also worked extensively with C#, ASP.NET, PHP frameworks, Golang, and modern front-end stacks. Today, I enjoy mentoring engineers who want to: - Move from Senior Engineer → Tech Lead / Architect - Improve system design & architectural thinking - Handle scale, performance & real-world production challenges - Make better career and technical decisions I strongly believe in practical learning, real-world tradeoffs, and thinking beyond frameworks.
