What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior engineering roles building secure, cloud-native, scalable systems in collaborative, product-focused teams where I can lead architecture, DevOps modernization, and deliver measurable impact.

I am a strategic software engineer with 8+ years of experience delivering cloud-native solutions across finance, retail, healthcare, and enterprise. I focus on designing secure, high-performance systems that translate technical work into measurable business outcomes.

At Mercury I architected Azure microservices that cut infrastructure costs by 35% and built .NET Core APIs for fraud claim processing; at Walmart I led checkout modernization that reduced international payment failures by 78%. I have also developed FDA-validated healthcare software and optimized device efficiency in clinical contexts.

My technical strengths include Azure (AKS, Functions, Pipelines), .NET Core, C#, and Angular with NgRx, combined with containerization using Docker and Kubernetes. I implement DevOps practices, CI/CD, robust monitoring, and secure authentication to ensure reliability and compliance.

I thrive on turning complex requirements into intuitive user experiences and operational efficiency, and I enjoy leading architecture work and mentoring engineers. I am motivated to join a collaborative, product-focused engineering team where I can drive cloud modernization and deliver measurable ROI.
