Lead Backend Engineer focusing on distributed system design

I’m a lead software engineer with current experience transforming highly coupled monolithic NLP AI/ML Python services into modern, scalable, fault tolerant, containerized microservices on AWS. Over the last 5 years, I’ve focused on backend engineering and distributed system design. I also have two recent peer reviewed IEEE AI/ML papers. I’m looking for a new opportunity where I can work on interesting projects, meet new people, learn new technologies, and make a positive impact.
