What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience building scalable, high-availability systems across financial technology and cloud-native environments.

In recent roles, I engineered AI-powered invoice classification and automation pipelines, cutting manual processing by 80% and accelerating cycle time from 5 days to 10 hours, while also preventing 90% of redundant payments. I’ve architected event-driven and ingestion pipelines handling 1M+ financial transactions daily with <500ms latency, built monitoring dashboards to enable proactive incident detection and 30% faster resolution, and achieved $1M+ annual cost savings. I also mentor engineers and partner closely with finance and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver measurable operational improvements.
