Staff Software Engineer building fast, reliable end-to-end products for real-time, complex systems.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Staff Software Engineer who builds fast, reliable end-to-end products, especially where real-time workflows and complex systems must feel simple.
At Cursor I own core editor workflows and shipped UI and backend features that cut time-to-first-successful-edit by 23% and reduced onboarding drop-off by 27%, working hands-on with React, Angular, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, Rust, and C#/.NET.
Previously I delivered patient- and member-facing healthcare platforms at Sentara Health and UnitedHealth Group, improving performance, reliability, and developer practices across frontend and backend stacks, and operating services on AWS with strong observability and security practices.
I prioritize predictable state, low-latency interactions, and scalable infra—using PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, Docker/Kubernetes, and multi-LLM integrations—to deliver production-ready systems and meaningful user outcomes.
