Staff Software Engineer specializing in scalable backend systems and AI-powered automation.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a seasoned Staff Software Engineer with 15+ years building scalable backend systems, cloud-native solutions, and AI-integrated automation for enterprise platforms. I have led migrations from monoliths to service-oriented architectures and driven adoption of modern API patterns like GraphQL.
At Oracle, I engineered microservices on Oracle Autonomous Database, modernized enterprise applications with Oracle APEX and Next.js, and built ETL and vector-search pipelines using Airflow and Oracle Database 23ai to power semantic search and fraud detection. My work reduced deployment cycles, improved query performance, and enabled cross-cloud OLTP and analytics.
Previously at Airbnb and TEOCO, I delivered predictive pricing engines with XGBoost, scaled global backend systems, and developed big-data pipelines processing billions of records. I mentor engineers, lead architecture reviews, and focus on secure, high-performance solutions that streamline operations and scale globally.
