What I'm looking for

I’m looking to contribute to mortgage technology by advancing platform scalability and developer productivity—building reliable APIs and microservices, improving CI/CD and testing, and collaborating cross-functionally in an ownership-driven culture.

With 5 years in software development, I specialize in scalable web and API solutions within regulated fintech domains. I focus on Typescript, Go, GraphQL, React, and relational databases, and I’ve delivered measurable performance gains—driving a 40% reduction in API latency while improving maintainability and code quality across teams.

At Glacier Insurance, I led the design and implementation of microservices using Go and NodeJS, improving API throughput by 35% while ensuring fault tolerance and scalability. I spearheaded GraphQL APIs to reduce data overfetching (improving frontend performance by 30%), optimized Aurora Postgres schemas and queries for 10,000+ concurrent users with 99.9% uptime, and shortened deployment cycles from 2 weeks to 3 days through CI/CD best practices.
