My Expertise.

Backend Development

Building scalable APIs and microservices using Python (Flask/FastAPI), Laravel (PHP), and optimizing performance for high-throughput systems.

Cloud & DevOps

Extensive experience with AWS — EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, SQS, IAM. I automate infrastructure using Terraform, and manage CI/CD pipelines with Codefresh & GitHub Actions.

Infrastructure & Monitoring

Deploying and maintaining Kubernetes (EKS), setting up Prometheus/Grafana monitoring, logging with CloudWatch, and handling autoscaling for services.

Database Engineering

Designing and managing MySQL/PostgreSQL schemas, optimizing slow queries, managing migrations, and implementing Redis caching for fast data access.

Networking Automation

Built APIs to manage virtual networking devices (KVM, OVS, bridges), used in large-scale systems for clients like Telstra & GTT.

Cost Optimization & Reliability

Reduced AWS bills by 40%+ through snapshot strategy, instance tuning, and load balancing. Ensured zero-downtime deployments and high availability systems.

About Me.

With a strong foundation in Python, Bash, Flask, Terraform, AWS, and Kubernetes, I've worked on diverse projects — from building microservices and real-time analytics systems to cloud cost optimizations and network automation.

I’ve contributed to companies like Capsule, FactSet, and Telstra, often as the go-to problem solver for infrastructure and backend challenges.
