What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead teams building scalable cloud-native backend, security automation, and AI-driven products, while shaping architecture, mentoring engineers, and translating customer and business needs into reliable production solutions.

At Visa, I lead and mentor 11 developers delivering the Visa Analytics Platform, providing architecture, code-review, and cloud-native backend leadership while building Generative AI-based products.

Previously at Synopsys Software Integrity Solutions, I led security automation teams and built products including Legion, a Python/Django GCP platform with approximately 99% availability; Jarvis, which reduced vulnerability triage time by 40%; and ATOR, an open-source Burp plugin that reduced penetration-testing effort by approximately 20%.

Across 14+ years, I've combined hands-on Python, Golang, REST API, microservices, Kubernetes, and CI/CD work with engineering management, mentoring, stakeholder communication, and technical roadmapping.
