What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, cloud-native systems that leverage AI/ML, strong CI/CD and shift-left testing practices, within collaborative, delivery-focused teams.

I am a results-driven software engineer with over five years building high-performance, cloud-native applications using Java, Python, and modern distributed systems.

At Walmart Global Tech I deliver AI-powered recommendation systems and real-time Next Best Action pipelines using GCP, Apache Kafka, and Kubernetes to serve millions of users with low-latency, highly available services.

Previously at Copart I migrated monolithic systems to microservices, improved startup time by 87.5%, and led development of reusable UI components and backend services to boost maintainability and performance.

I emphasize shift-left testing, CI/CD automation, prompt engineering, and cross-functional collaboration to accelerate delivery and improve security and user engagement.
