At D.E. Shaw, I own the architecture, roadmap, and delivery of firm-wide applicant tracking and recruiting management platforms serving 500+ global users. I’ve delivered six major initiatives in a year, including AI-powered transcription, summarization, scoring, and conversational analytics.
I lead a seven-member engineering team and use structured mentorship, 1:1s, and development plans to help engineers grow; two team members were promoted to senior roles. I also modernized platform reliability through Kubernetes and microservices migrations, database optimization that reduced footprint by 20%, and engineering practices that reduced QA churn and production incidents.
Previously, I built enterprise capabilities for Microsoft Viva Connections used by millions globally, helped establish T-Mobile Europe’s e-commerce platform, and modernized Morgan Stanley’s settlement platform from COBOL mainframes to Java. I work across Java, cloud infrastructure, event-driven systems, AI/LLM integrations, and high-stakes delivery environments.
