> Senior Backend Engineer specializing in cloud-native systems and AWS serverless architecture.

Currently working as a Consultant — Backend Engineer at Capgemini, architecting event-driven microservices using AWS Lambda, SQS, and SNS for scalable, decoupled, auto-scaling service communication across distributed systems. Previously at Aiphant Technologies, where I led backend systems for media streaming and healthcare platforms.

I've engineered Terraform modules for optimized polling/push strategies achieving sub-50ms API read latency, increased query throughput by 40% by implementing serverless patterns with Lambda, SQS queues and S3, and authored reusable Terraform modules reducing environment provisioning from days to under one hour.

With 6+ years of experience, I bridge the gap between engineering execution and system-level thinking — building production-ready solutions with Node.js, AWS, Docker, and Terraform. I drive test coverage, automate CI/CD pipelines, and integrate LLM models into real-world applications.
