What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles where I can own end-to-end systems, work in Agile teams, drive cloud-native architectures on AWS, and improve reliability, security, and deployment velocity.

I am a senior software engineer with 13+ years building scalable web and distributed systems, specializing in TypeScript/Node backends, Apollo GraphQL services, and AWS production deployments. I take end-to-end ownership across requirements, CI/CD, and monitoring.

At JLL I led microservice design and delivery, containerization on Amazon EKS, and implemented event-driven pipelines with Amazon MSK and Kinesis, reducing latency and improving deploy frequency and stability. I modeled business processes with Camunda, authored Terraform modules and CloudFormation templates, and established observability with Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, and Sentry to accelerate incident response.

I have a proven track record in Agile teams designing loan origination and financial services systems that emphasize resilience, security, and operational excellence, and I hold relevant cloud and Agile certifications including AWS Machine Learning Foundations, Azure Developer Associate, and Certified SAFe® 5 Agilist.
