What I'm looking for

I'm looking for Principal, Staff, Architect, or Engineering Manager opportunities where I can lead cloud-native platform architecture, modernize enterprise systems, mentor engineers, and improve delivery, security, and software quality.

I've built and scaled enterprise platforms at Ingram Micro, ReleaseIQ.io, and PayPal, delivering cloud-native microservices, payment systems, and deployment automation. At ReleaseIQ.io, I architected 15+ Spring Boot microservices processing 100K+ daily transactions and reduced deployment time by 60% through CI/CD automation.

At Ingram Micro, I led architecture and delivery for enterprise microservices, raised code coverage from 40% to 90%, and reduced production defects by 40% through Checkmarx integration. I also mentor engineers, lead architecture reviews, and modernize critical platforms using Java, Spring Boot, AWS, Python, Node.js, and modern DevOps practices.
