What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and optimize scalable backend systems and APIs in a cloud-first environment, partnering cross-functionally to improve performance, reliability, and developer velocity through automation and CI/CD.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer who’s implemented automated deployment processes on AWS and architected RESTful APIs and microservices that scale to millions of requests. At UPS and MasterCard, I improved reliability, reduced deployment and data retrieval times, and strengthened backend performance through query optimization, ETL pipelines, and CI/CD.

I bring a full-lifecycle mindset—refactoring legacy code, migrating JavaScript to TypeScript, and collaborating across product, UX, DevOps, and architecture teams to deliver measurable user and system outcomes. I’m energized by engineering work that turns complex requirements into secure, high-performing software.
