About
I am a senior software engineer with 15+ years designing and building scalable backend systems, distributed architectures, and cloud-native applications across fintech, SaaS, and high-growth platforms. I have hands-on expertise in Ruby, Java, TypeScript, Python, and PHP and have delivered secure REST APIs, microservices, and asynchronous messaging systems using Kafka, RabbitMQ, Sidekiq, and Delayed Job.
I consistently drive measurable impact: led REST API delivery for a global mobile app, increased affiliate conversions and subscriptions, improved team efficiency and incident reduction through coding standards and observability, and launched high-impact payments and card products for hundreds of thousands of users. I prioritize resilience, compliance, and developer productivity across AWS, GCP, and Azure.
