## About

```text
At Wayfair, I architected a real-time signaling layer with Spring Webflux and Java, replacing a synchronous request model across three core communication services. I also designed Istio service mesh configuration to enforce mutual TLS between microservices.

I defined OAuth2 and OpenID Connect token validation flows for REST endpoints and introduced Redis as a distributed session cache. I also engineered Terraform modules for multi-region GCP infrastructure and authored Ansible playbooks for Azure-hosted application nodes.

At Google, I profiled a data ingestion pipeline with Go-based tooling and restructured batch partitioning to increase throughput. I also expanded automated test coverage for an internal analytics service from 65% to 93%.

At Vistaprint, I investigated transaction latency in a customer-facing print order service and identified database calls that could be parallelized, cutting round-trip time by 35ms. I also rebalanced Kubernetes workloads on Azure-hosted nodes, reducing idle compute spend by 15%.
