I am a senior software engineer delivering AI-driven web and backend systems with 10+ years' experience.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a senior software engineer with 10+ years building high-quality web, backend, and AI-driven systems, focused on delivering scalable production solutions. At Amazon, I led development of AI document-automation, chat-based assistants, voice agents, and a chart copilot that improved workflows and reduced rework.
As a founding engineer at Navan, I launched an end-to-end booking platform and built resilient backend services for bookings, expenses, payments, and policy enforcement, optimizing APIs with smart batching and vector-embedding search. I implemented automated Unit/API/E2E test suites, resilient background queues, and CI/CD with canary rollouts to enable daily deploys and high availability.
I enjoy solving complex problems, driving cross-functional collaboration, and building compliant, audit-ready systems with strong observability and automation to accelerate product delivery.
