Senior Software Engineer

Enterprise Cloud · AI Engineering · Backend · Platform

I build enterprise software that powers private cloud platforms used by telecommunications companies.

My work spans frontend, backend, distributed systems, Kubernetes, release engineering, software security and AI-assisted software development.

I enjoy investigating difficult engineering problems and transforming complex requirements into maintainable software.

About

I have been working professionally as a software engineer for more than six years, building enterprise software used in production by large organizations.

For the last four years I have worked on Encora Inc., for a custormer's cloud platform where I contribute across frontend, backend and platform-related components.

My daily work includes:

Engineering Philosophy

Software engineering is fundamentally about solving problems rather than writing code.

</>

Simplicity
over cleverness

Maintainability
over shortcuts

Collaboration
over individual ownership

Root cause analysis
over temporary fixes

My goal is to understand systems deeply, identify constraints and design solutions that remain maintainable over time.
