What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building scalable cloud-native systems and microservices, with hands-on coding, mentorship opportunities, and a collaborative, growth-focused team culture.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years building and scaling applications across fintech, healthcare, e-commerce, and SaaS. I specialize in full-stack development, cloud systems, and microservices using React, Java, .NET, Python, and AWS/Azure.

At Blue Wave Solutions I led React/Next web apps that increased user engagement by 35% and built a GraphQL/Elasticsearch search reducing latency by 50%. I integrated .NET Core microservices and built internal C# tools to improve backend processing and operational visibility.

Previously I redesigned services and CI/CD at Innovexa Labs and Capital One, improving throughput, deployment speed, and resilience — including replacing legacy services with Java Spring Boot and automating pipelines with Jenkins and Kubernetes.

I hold a Computer Science degree from the University of Virginia, AWS Database Specialty and Azure Security Engineer certifications, and I actively contribute to open-source projects while pursuing continuous learning in emerging technologies.
