Lead Software Engineer at BOLD building a cloud-native platform that processes 150,000+ job listings daily.

At BOLD, I lead a cross-functional team delivering a cloud-native job crawling and scraping platform that processes 150,000+ job listings daily. I architected its extraction layer to match browser automation and static HTML parsing to each workload.

At Monster Worldwide, I led the engineering team responsible for a job ingestion pipeline handling about 10 million listings daily, and helped modernize legacy systems while keeping them stable. I also built custom test automation frameworks that reduced regression test cycles by 80%.
