Senior Software Engineer

I architect and build systems that stay standing when traffic spikes. With 8 years of senior-level engineering experience—including 6 years leading teams and 4 years as an individual contributor—I don't just write code that passes review. I write code that survives deployment, scale, and the 3 AM pagerduty alert you don't want to get. Where I deliver disproportionate value: 🏗️ System Architecture & Scalability: I design for 10x growth, not just MVP. I've refactored monoliths that buckled at 5k users into microservices handling 1M+ DAU. 🔧 Technical Debt Reduction: I walk into codebases that are "too fragile to touch" and leave them maintainable, tested, and deployable without fear. 🧠 Complex Problem Solving: I specialize in the problems junior devs get stuck on for weeks—concurrency, data consistency, performance bottlenecks, legacy integration. 🎯 Technical Leadership: I mentor your existing team, establish code review culture, and make architectural decisions that unblock features. I am not a good fit if: You need someone to copy-paste Bootstrap templates You want the cheapest hourly rate on the platform You have a "done is better than good" timeline I am the right fit if: You're building something that needs to work at scale You have messy code that scares your current team You want an engineer who thinks about future maintainability, not just today's ticket Let's talk architecture. Invite me to your job and I'll respond within 2 hours with specific questions about your stack, pain points, and scalability goals.
