Senior software engineer specializing in scalable full-stack systems, search, and real-time data pipelines.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years building full-stack, enterprise-grade systems using .NET, Python, and modern JavaScript frameworks. I focus on scalable architecture, API design, performance optimization, and production-ready observability.
At Bloomberg I migrated alerting to Lucene/Solr, built distributed indexing and Kafka-based ingestion, and improved search relevance and throughput while delivering real-time visualizations with React and WebSockets. I have repeatedly modernized legacy stacks into microservices, optimized databases and caching, and automated CI/CD for high availability.
I prioritize pragmatic engineering that reduces cost, improves user experience, and ensures security and compliance (OAuth2, JWT, HIPAA, PCI-DSS). I enjoy solving large-scale data and search problems and delivering reliable, maintainable platforms for thousands of users.
