What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building scalable web platforms that combine frontend excellence, backend reliability, and practical AI to drive product impact in agile teams.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with extensive experience designing and shipping scalable web platforms for high-traffic consumer products. I lead both frontend and backend efforts, from micro-frontends and Next.js migrations to building resilient Go-based microservices and cloud infrastructure on AWS.

At Rent the Runway I introduced a micro-frontend architecture, modernized the UI with a custom component library and Tailwind CSS, and led a migration to Next.js that improved performance and reduced latency. I architected backend services in Go and Node.js, implemented event-driven systems with Kafka, and built secure authentication and payment systems.

Previously at Netlify I developed dashboard features, real-time analytics, and payment services, implemented high-performance APIs with Go (Gin + gRPC), and integrated AI chatbots by bridging Go services to Python NLP models. I have experience migrating databases, implementing GraphQL backends, and optimizing observability and CI/CD workflows.

I value mentoring engineers, working in fast-paced agile teams, and delivering production-ready systems that combine strong engineering practices, automated testing, and practical AI/ML integrations to improve user experience and business outcomes.
