What I'm looking for

I seek backend-focused roles where I can optimize performance, improve reliability, and deliver scalable systems within collaborative, test-driven teams.

I am a software engineer specializing in backend development and system performance, with a proven track record migrating legacy systems, optimizing databases, and delivering maintainable production services.

At LexisNexis and Northrop Grumman I improved API response times, implemented Sidekiq workflows, tuned PostgreSQL queries, and applied Redis caching to reduce load and latency. I also integrated Hotwire/Turbo Streams for dynamic UIs and maintained high test coverage with RSpec and Capybara.

I prioritize clean architecture, measurable performance improvements, and reliable deployments, leveraging Docker, CI/CD, AWS/Heroku, and monitoring tools to keep systems efficient and resilient.
