I build scalable AWS backend platforms, event-driven microservices, and reliable APIs.

At Slalom Build, I design AWS-native backend services that modernize enterprise applications, using Python, Java, Lambda, Step Functions, API Gateway, SQS/SNS, Kafka, and Terraform. My work improved peak throughput by 25% and reduced critical production incidents by 30% through stronger observability and event-driven architecture.

Previously, I built backend systems for Echo360's video learning platform, improving media-processing latency by 20% and cutting manual provisioning time by 40%. Across financial software, security analytics, and education technology, I've built REST APIs, data pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and distributed systems while mentoring teams through code reviews, pairing, and design sessions.
