What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own end-to-end backend and full-stack delivery, integrate AI responsibly, and drive measurable impact through reliability, performance, and product alignment.

I’m an SDE II who architect full-stack compliance systems and ship AI-enabled features that connect cleanly to existing business capabilities. At 6sense, I built a DNC (Do Not Call) compliance module with projected $10M impact and owned end-to-end integration of an AI Email Writer into the Sales Intelligence credit system.

Previously at Bright Money, I led HLD/LLD and implementation for a new banking partner integration, managed and optimized 22+ microservices, and improved user conversion by 15%. I also delivered a daily refresh pipeline for 500K users and 1M+ accounts at 99.99% uptime, boosting collection rates 15–20%, and reduced operational costs by $33,000/month through automated delinking; my internship work strengthened my focus on performance and reliability across APIs, databases, and distributed systems.
