Software Engineer at M&T Bank building Java microservices and AI fraud telemetry that reduced anomaly detection time by 40%.

United States

Message

At M&T Bank, I architect Java and Spring Boot microservices for digital banking and payment processing, supporting more than 2M daily transactions. I also engineered a Python and RAG-based fraud telemetry pipeline that reduced security anomaly detection time by 40%.

Previously, I worked on cloud-native financial platforms at Computershare, insurance applications at Liberty Mutual Insurance, and healthcare administration systems at United Health Group. I’ve also built projects for distributed transaction streaming and enterprise AI search using Kafka, Redis, LangChain, and Pinecone.
