What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior engineering roles focused on scalable backend or GenAI-enabled systems, in collaborative, API-driven teams that value observability, testing, and mentorship.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with eight years of experience building scalable backend and frontend systems across travel and healthcare domains in both enterprise and startup environments.

I specialize in distributed systems, ETL and streaming pipelines, and GenAI-powered retrieval systems, and I leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery while maintaining high standards of performance, reliability, and maintainability.

At Airbnb I modernized ranking infrastructure to microservices, built batch and streaming ETL with PySpark and Kafka, and implemented LLM-powered RAG systems with vector databases to improve guest intent understanding.

Previously at Oscar Health I built HIPAA-compliant backend services, integrated EMR systems with HL7/FHIR, improved real-time video consultations with WebRTC and STUN/TURN, and contributed to CI/CD and observability practices.
