What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles focused on AI platform or scalable full-stack systems, collaborative product teams, and opportunities to lead cloud-native architecture and CI/CD improvements.

I am a versatile Senior Software Engineer with 10 years building scalable backend systems, modern web and mobile frontends, and AI/ML infrastructure for global e-commerce platforms.

At eBay I architected and led development of an AI-powered Smart Listings Assistant that improved listing speed and quality by 45% and impacted over 1M active sellers globally.

I have deep hands-on experience with Java, React, Python, TypeScript, SQL, and AWS, and I design cloud-native, distributed systems—including Ray-based distributed AI infrastructure and microservices with millisecond-level latency.

I collaborate closely with product managers, ML scientists, designers, and cross-functional teams to ship production-ready features, reduce incidents through observability and canary rollouts, and accelerate deployment velocity via shared libraries and CI/CD automation.
