At KAYAK, I designed the non-blocking result streaming framework serving the core search experience, reducing median time to first result by 40% and improving visual stability for users.
I lead architecture across hotel, flight, and car search, including result streaming, caching, ranking, APIs, affiliate-platform migration, and hotel ads integrations. I also led backend integration for a major acquisition, migrated APIs and tracking, and built scalable RESTful and geospatial map APIs.
I've mentored and onboarded five engineers while sharing knowledge through documentation, talks, and structured technical delegation. I enjoy solving ambiguous backend problems through practical architecture, performance optimization, and cross-functional collaboration.
