Senior software engineer specializing in scalable, cloud-native commerce systems.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a senior software engineer with deep expertise in building scalable, event-driven commerce systems and cloud infrastructure. I drive measurable business impact by designing reliable payment and order-management platforms that support high-volume transactions and uptime.
At Salesforce I architected distributed systems using Kafka, Java, Spring Boot, and Kotlin, contributing to multi-million dollar revenue improvements and ensuring 99.99% uptime for high-throughput payment processing. I also built APIs and microservices that reduced payment failures and duplicated orders.
I blend full-stack development skills—React and JavaScript for responsive dashboards, Python/FastAPI for optimization tools—with strong DevOps practices including Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, Jenkins, and CI/CD pipelines to enable zero-downtime deployments and operational efficiency.
I collaborate closely with product and clinical stakeholders, mentor junior engineers, and use AI techniques like LangChain and RAG to add personalized recommendations and other ML-driven features that improve user experience and business metrics.
