I build scalable finance, healthcare, and enterprise platforms with Java and React.

United States
Message

At Google, I rearchitected finance APIs, event-driven data pipelines, and treasury services that consolidated global operations, cut FX feed lag to under 400 milliseconds, and reduced month-end close time by 35%. I also built a React treasury dashboard, strengthened zero-data-loss reliability patterns, and mentored junior engineers in distributed systems design.

I've delivered enterprise platforms at RetailMeNot, athenahealth, and General Motors using Java, Spring Boot, React, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Docker, and cloud-native microservices. My work spans CRM, healthcare records, connected vehicles, real-time data ingestion, and performance optimization across high-scale production systems.
