I'm looking to own zero-to-one backend, cloud, and AI automation work in a fast-paced, distributed environment where I can ship quickly, solve ambiguous problems, and deliver measurable product impact.
```

## About

```text
At PayPal, I own end-to-end delivery for payments, analytics, and risk integrations, including the US CIP platform wallet integration for CITI bank supporting millions of daily transactions.

I led the zero-to-one Otter initiative to connect risk services with the digital wallet for stronger fraud prevention. I also built a React, Node.js, and TypeScript admin tool used by 150+ people, reducing manual case resolution time by 40%.

I use Claude and MCP workflows to remove engineering toil, cutting GitHub Enterprise migration time from five hours to 20 minutes and reducing annual toil by $150K+. As primary Payments on-call, I resolved 70+ P1/P2 incidents and helped reduce MTTR by 35% through automated runbooks.

Previously at Cisco, I automated SD-WAN migrations, DNS and L7 proxy deployment with Ansible and Terraform, and cloud dashboards through CI/CD. I also built TakeMyTickets, a ticket-resale platform with validity verification and city-based categorization, now live in 11 cities.
