What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on engineering roles at growth-oriented teams where I can lead scalable architecture, integrate AI workflows, mentor engineers, and ship reliable, high-performance user experiences.

I am a staff software engineer with deep experience designing and delivering large-scale web and mobile platforms for healthcare and consumer marketplaces. I led cross-functional initiatives that transformed startup-stage products into resilient, high-traffic services used by millions.

At Wheel, I created a foundational frontend blueprint and a 100+ component UI library that accelerated MVP delivery 2–3×, unified backend APIs into an orchestrated system, and refactored data models into microservice schemas to support millions of daily requests.

At Airbnb, I engineered real-time booking dashboards, optimized backend systems for high throughput, and built analytics pipelines processing billions of events. I introduced CI/CD, observability, and feature flagging to reduce incidents while enabling rapid experimentation.

I mentor engineers, review large volumes of PRs, and focus on pragmatic architecture, performance optimization, and integrating AI workflows end-to-end to deliver reliable, low-latency user experiences.
