What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior engineering roles where I can build scalable cloud-native systems, mentor teams, work with modern ML/AI and DevOps stacks, and contribute to high-impact, collaborative product development.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years building full-stack, cloud-native systems across startups and global enterprises. I focus on designing scalable microservices, improving operational efficiency, and enhancing user experiences.

At Google I designed Go microservices for fraud detection, integrated generative AI, and led cloud deployments using Kubernetes, CloudRun, and BigQuery. I automated CI/CD pipelines and championed secure service-to-service authentication using OAuth2 and JWT.

Previously, I built personalized content platforms and APIs at Hulu, integrating recommendation algorithms and serverless deployments, and developed AI-enhanced data platforms at Digital Reasoning with PyTorch and graph databases. I have strong DevOps experience across AWS, GCP, Azure, Docker, and Terraform.

I mentor engineers, promote cross-functional collaboration, and prioritize secure, test-driven delivery. I seek to join teams that value technical excellence, measurable impact, and continual learning.
