I
'
m
a
software
engineer
with
six
years
of
experience
building
and
scaling
backend
systems
,
currently
working
as
a
Senior
Backend
Engineer
at
FinScale
,
where
I
lead
a
team
of
four
responsible
for
the
company
'
s
payment
-
processing
platform
.
I
started
my
career
as
a
full
-
stack
developer
at
a
small
startup
,
building
REST
APIs
in
Node
.
js
and
React
dashboards
,
and
over
the
years
I
'
ve
deepened
my
focus
on
distributed
systems
and
cloud
infrastructure
—
I
'
ve
designed
and
shipped
services
on
AWS
that
handle
over
40
million
requests
per
day
.
In
my
current
role
,
I
rearchitected
our
data
layer
using
Redis
caching
and
database
partitioning
,
which
cut
our
API
latency
by
38%
and
directly
improved
the
checkout
experience
for
roughly
800,000
monthly
users
.
I
'
m
drawn
to
this
opportunity
because
of
the
scale
of
the
challenges
your
team
tackles
and
the
emphasis
on
engineering
excellence
,
and
I
'
m
excited
about
the
chance
to
bring
my
experience
with
high
-
throughput
systems
and
technical
leadership
to
your
platform
