What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build secure, scalable cloud and full-stack products, improve reliability through automation, and collaborate with cross-functional teams on production-ready software.

I've built scalable, security-focused software for Datadog's cloud monitoring and observability platforms, delivering backend services, APIs, and internal tools that improve reliability and developer productivity.

Previously, I developed full-stack applications and customer-facing REST APIs at Yext, then designed secure, scalable AWS architectures for enterprise customers as a Solutions Architect. I bring 7+ years across JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, React, Node.js, AWS, cloud security, automation, and distributed systems.
