I build reliable Java backend and API systems that scale, reduce toil, and help teams move faster.

At Akamai, I design APIs and backend systems that reduce operational friction for enterprise customers. I cut global TLS profile rollout time from about two days to around 60 minutes while reducing requests from hundreds of thousands to a few dozen.

I build observability and reliability into services, replacing manual host log downloads with centralized Loki and Grafana logging, creating QA and SRE dashboards, and laying groundwork for cross-service tracing. I also delivered FedRAMP+ certificate-management APIs under a compressed timeline and reduced unit-test runtime from 40 minutes to 15 minutes.

Across Veeva and Adobe, I’ve built access-control tagging models, REST APIs, data processing systems, outage-response tooling, and reporting capabilities. I improved MongoDB query performance from several minutes to seconds and helped scale a data processing engine from roughly 25% to 90% CPU utilization with autoscaling.

I’ve spent more than 10 years working primarily in Java and Spring, while quickly learning unfamiliar technologies when they lead to better outcomes. I enjoy improving deployment pipelines, mentoring newer engineers, and leaving systems more reliable and easier for teams to operate.
