What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building secure, scalable cloud-native systems with strong team collaboration, mentorship opportunities, and clear impact on product reliability and user outcomes.

I am a senior software engineer with extensive experience building scalable, secure cloud-native systems and consumer-facing SaaS features. I focus on reliability, security, and measurable product impact across web and backend platforms.

At Plaid I rebuilt an internal compliance portal, implemented multi-tenant RBAC, and shipped a real-time crypto portfolio tracker and support widget that boosted engagement and operational efficiency. I also automated deployment pipelines and containerized microservices to reduce release errors.

Earlier roles include improving real-time virtual visit and secure messaging systems in healthcare, where I drove HIPAA-compliant communication features and scheduling integrations, and developing pricing engines, mobile-first UX, and international payments at Turo.

I mentor engineers, collaborate with cross-functional teams (security, compliance, clinical, finance), and bring strong expertise in modern stacks, DevOps, and distributed architectures to deliver reliable, production-grade systems.
