Proven experience designing and evolving large-scale distributed systems and microservice architectures.

Demonstrated ability to own technical domains, making architectural trade-offs and long-term design decisions.

Experience driving cross-domain initiatives, coordinating with multiple teams to deliver cohesive solutions.

Track record of mentoring engineers, leading technical discussions, and influencing outcomes at an organizational level.

Experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred), CI/CD pipelines, and modern DevOps practices.

Passion for solving complex problems, continuously learning, and delivering customer-focused innovations.

Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.
