Senior Software Engineer • Database Administrator • Backend Engineer • Systems Architect | 20+ years in Software & Data Engineering
I'm a results-driven Senior Software Engineer with 20 years of experience in application, backend, and distributed systems engineering, plus database administration and performance tuning.
I specialize in building and maintaining secure, high-availability, high-performance data platforms that power mission-critical enterprise systems, particularly in financial and ERP environments.
Leveraging deep expertise in both database internals and modern application architecture, I help teams modernize legacy integrations into scalable, service-oriented solutions that are reliable, maintainable, and built for growth.
