What I'm looking for

I seek roles building reliable, observable backend and full-stack systems at teams valuing performance, collaboration, and measurable product impact.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over a decade of experience designing and shipping scalable backend systems and customer-facing features at major technology companies.

At Stripe I led onboarding and payment enablement work using React, TypeScript, GraphQL, Next.js and Python, reducing launch delays from weeks to days and cutting dashboard load times by 38%.

At Microsoft I developed and scaled the persistent chat system for Teams using C#, ASP.NET, Azure Service Fabric and Cosmos DB, supporting millions of daily users while improving API responsiveness and maintainability.

I prioritize performance, reliability, observability, and cross-functional collaboration, and consistently deliver measurable impact through testing, instrumentation, and thoughtful system design.
