What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can build and migrate real systems end-to-end—cloud-native backend services, data workflows, and developer tooling—while shipping improvements that remove operational bottlenecks and keep auditability and reliability front and center.

I’m a software engineer who helped build and migrate production platforms at Goldman Sachs, ESAMPO.com, and Facebook. At ESAMPO.com, I led the migration of a legacy WordPress/GCP platform using modern tooling like Vercel, Supabase, Cloudflare, and TinaCMS—so non-engineering stakeholders could edit content directly.

At Goldman Sachs, I was on the founding team for a greenfield, cloud-native third-party risk registry that centralized vendor risk data for 10,000+ vendors and firm-wide regulatory compliance. I architected a microservices backend on AWS (ECS, Lambda, DynamoDB, Aurora PostgreSQL) with RESTful API contracts, and improved service-layer reliability using JUnit/Mockito and 90% code coverage.

I also built alerting and observability with CloudWatch and PagerDuty, and later automated a previously fully manual charitable contribution approval workflow by integrating Candex while preserving an audit trail. Earlier, I migrated 100+ pages of high-traffic PHP quiz infrastructure from on-premise to GCP with zero downtime and redesigned UI/UX for a women’s lifestyle platform.
