What I'm looking for

I seek a role owning production systems where I can improve reliability, performance, and developer productivity through platform, CI/CD, and secure engineering practices.

I am a software engineer with 3.6 years of experience delivering enterprise-scale product and platform systems across frontend, backend, and cloud infrastructure.

At McKinsey & Company I led development of pricing, budgeting, and financial workflow modules, refactored monolithic frontends into micro-frontends, and improved UI performance by 5× while reducing cross-team integration effort.

I designed secure backend APIs and authentication workflows with Okta, built CI/CD pipelines using Docker, Kubernetes (EKS) and ArgoCD, and managed secrets with AWS KMS and Secrets Manager to meet enterprise security standards.

My work includes authoring ADRs and platform guidelines, mentoring engineers, publishing reusable npm packages, achieving 90%+ test coverage, and driving observability and incident reduction through structured logging and dashboards.
