What I'm looking for

I seek engineering roles focused on building reliable, privacy-preserving, observable distributed systems that leverage applied AI and scale commerce; I value strong SRE practices, measurable SLOs, and collaborative product/engineering teams.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years designing privacy-first, observable services and modular APIs that sustain high throughput under strict compliance controls.

I build resilient, SRE-driven platforms using Java, Python, and TypeScript, delivering 99.99% availability, substantial latency reductions, and MTTR improvements through CI/CD, Kubernetes, and automated runbooks.

I integrate LLMs and RAG to automate summaries, intent classification, and reply drafts, increasing automation and reducing agent handle time, while also shipping commerce initiatives such as Stripe Guest Checkout that captured significant new-user GMV.

I mentor engineers, lead API/partner integrations with contract testing and zero-downtime deploys, and prioritize observability, security (PCI/SOC2), and measurable SLO outcomes to drive product and reliability improvements.
