Staff software engineer driving scalable, production-ready web and AI-enabled systems.
What I'm looking for
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.
