I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 10 years building large-scale SaaS and e-commerce platforms, delivering resilient, high-performance systems using React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, Java, and AWS. I have driven AI feature integration, modernized monolithic systems into microfrontends, and optimized data pipelines to process millions of records daily while improving developer velocity and reducing latency.
At Airbnb and Climate I led design-system rollouts, implemented caching strategies with Elasticsearch and Redis, and partnered closely with designers, PMs, and ML teams to bring accessible, data-driven products to market. I mentor engineers, set engineering best practices, and focus on scalable, testable architectures that balance product vision with technical execution.
