What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience in designing and delivering scalable applications across enterprise and cloud platforms. My journey has been marked by a proven success in leading cross-functional teams, mentoring developers, and optimizing workflows to enhance productivity. I am a strong advocate for clean architecture and continuous delivery, believing that empowering teams through mentorship and automation is key to achieving excellence.
Currently, I am enhancing inflight connectivity and entertainment systems at Viasat Inc, where I have built robust data streaming and ELT pipelines, improved test coverage, and maintained critical production systems using Kubernetes and AWS-based observability tools. My previous role at Walmart allowed me to lead full-stack development of data-driven applications, where I designed and deployed CI/CD pipelines that significantly reduced deployment times and improved team velocity.
Throughout my career, I have been committed to knowledge sharing and community involvement, hosting bi-weekly engineering meetups and regularly presenting at technical forums. I take pride in mentoring junior developers and fostering inclusive teams, as I believe that collaboration and support are essential for innovation and growth in the tech industry.
