I build scalable event-driven backend systems.

Message

I've built backend systems at Ramco Systems and Tekion Corp., modernizing payroll workflows, CRM integrations, and user-preference services. At Ramco, I designed a Strangler Fig integration layer and Kafka-based orchestration for legacy payroll migration, improving throughput by 35% while maintaining zero downtime and 100% data consistency.

Previously at Tekion, I developed Twilio-based voice integrations that reduced ticket resolution time by 25% and increased CSAT by 15%, while Kafka-driven features improved service latency by 30%. I also build secure, event-driven Go services using Kafka, Redis, DynamoDB, RabbitMQ, Docker, and AES-256-GCM encryption.
