Senior software engineer specializing in scalable, secure full-stack systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience across startups and enterprise environments, focused on building scalable, secure, and mission-critical systems. I lead cross-functional teams and drive full-stack development from architecture to production.
At Stripe I led development on embedded banking and Checkout, engineered a React/TypeScript form engine, built BaaS platforms in Go/Java/Ruby, and implemented fault-tolerant backends with CQRS, event sourcing, Kafka, and gRPC. My work improved performance, compliance, and operational metrics for millions of users.
Previously at Teladoc Health I architected HIPAA-compliant telehealth platforms, designed modular frontend experiences with Vue and micro-frontends, and deployed event-driven, scalable microservices integrating EHR and AI edge solutions. I emphasized performance, security, and observability while handling large-scale data and uptime requirements.
I mentor engineers, champion DevOps and IaC practices with Terraform, Kubernetes, and CI/CD, and incorporate AI/LLM tools to streamline workflows. I seek opportunities to solve complex technical challenges, deliver measurable impact, and grow engineering teams and systems.
