At Coinbase, I led development of a centralized Storage Service with unified APIs, role-based access control, logging, and secure direct uploads. Ten teams adopted it, and I developed Claude AI skills to streamline onboarding and support log debugging.

At WinZO Games, I led development and data migration of user services from a .NET–MySQL monolith to Node.js–PostgreSQL microservices on AWS. I also architected an Authentication Service handling 350K RPM with P99 latency under 4ms.
