What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative engineering role building scalable, reliable systems with opportunities for ownership, mentorship, and technical growth.

I am a full-stack software engineer with extensive experience designing scalable backend services and intuitive front-end systems across large-scale production environments.

At Google and Best Buy I led microservices, API design, and performance optimizations that improved throughput, reduced latency, and increased user adoption for critical products.

I have a strong track record in test automation, CI/CD, and code certification processes, delivering higher release stability and faster time to market while mentoring engineers and driving engineering best practices.

I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative teams where I can blend backend architecture, frontend UX collaboration, and DevOps to build reliable, user-centric software.
