I am a Senior Software Engineer building scalable web, backend, and AI systems.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years building and delivering high-quality web, backend, and AI-driven systems.
At Amazon I designed and launched an AI-powered healthcare platform using React, Python/Django, and AWS, integrating OpenAI and LangChain to automate patient conversations. I built secure RESTful APIs, implemented WebRTC video features, and managed event processing with Kafka and Redis.
Previously at Navan I developed booking features and scalable microservices, created GraphQL APIs, and integrated Elasticsearch with PostgreSQL for fast full-text search. I deployed services on GCP and automated CI/CD workflows using Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and GitHub Actions.
I prioritize security and performance—following HIPAA-compliant practices and using observability tools like DataDog and Splunk—while mentoring remote teams across time zones. I enjoy solving complex problems, shipping reliable products, and growing engineering teams through mentorship and cross-functional collaboration.
