I've built and modernized enterprise platforms for Kroger, Lynk Jamaica Digital Wallet, Equifax CyberFinancial, and Inffinix Software across retail, fintech, and financial services.

At Tech Mahindra supporting Kroger, I developed Java 21 and Spring Boot services for pricing optimization and discount validation, modernized business-rule management with Drools, and coordinated Kafka-as-a-Service adoption across approximately 15 microservices.

As Technical Lead for Lynk Jamaica Digital Wallet, I designed Java/Spring Boot microservices and REST APIs for a platform serving 250K+ users, delivered MoneyGram, Auth0, and Onfido integrations, and led releases and engineering work for a five-person team.

Across Equifax and Inffinix, I've led modernization of collections and recoveries systems, built Java, Spark, Angular, and GoJS solutions, managed engineering teams, and partnered directly with product and customer teams on complex integrations.
