What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and scale reliable, high-volume backend platforms, own production systems, solve distributed-systems challenges, and help teams deliver faster through strong engineering practices and mentorship.

I've built and scaled backend systems for Equinix, PersonifyHealth, Rezo.ai, and Interra Systems using Java, Kotlin, Spring Boot, Kafka, and PostgreSQL. At Equinix, I architect order-creation flows supporting 500+ daily orders and $1.6M+ in daily volume while leading a Boomi migration that unblocked four engineering teams.

I've delivered Kafka pipelines handling millions of events and calls per day, reduced PostgreSQL read latency by 35%, improved lead conversion by up to 35%, and maintained 99.99% uptime for critical order-platform workflows. I also mentor junior engineers, own production reliability, and use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate high-quality delivery.
