Message

At Guild Education, I architect and deliver scalable backend services for enterprise learning platforms. I designed AI-powered workflows that streamlined education benefits management and improved the accuracy of employee education records.

I’ve led architecture and technical design decisions using event-driven architecture and CQRS, and optimized database design and scaling to reduce API response latency by 34%. I also champion AI-forward development workflows and application security standards.

Before Guild Education, I worked on enterprise software and cloud-native platforms at Nuvalence, fitness tracking and GPS-based activity processing at MapMyFitness, and enterprise systems at IBM. At MapMyFitness, I improved activity-record processing throughput and reduced synchronization delays by 31%.
