What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and build reliable, scalable web platforms and distributed systems, combining .NET, cloud infrastructure, secure identity integration, performance engineering, and mentorship.

At Turo, I lead microservices for the car-sharing marketplace pricing and availability engine, improving API latency and throughput for global users by 25%.

I own end-to-end architecture across React and Angular platforms for hosts and guests, with secure identity integrations spanning OAuth2, OpenID Connect, JWT, Azure AD, and Okta. I also automated blue-green deployments with Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and Terraform, reducing failed deployments by 30%.

Previously at WeWork, I built booking, membership, billing, access-control, invoicing, and occupancy analytics platforms used across global operations. I improved financial reporting performance by 40%, reduced manual deployment effort by 35%, and led production troubleshooting for distributed systems.

My background also includes full-stack product work at Tailor Brands and financial systems at Barclays, where I supported syndicated loans, global loans, trading infrastructure, and information security. I enjoy building reliable, observable systems and mentoring engineers through design, code reviews, and operational practices.
