What I'm looking for

I’m open to Senior or Principal Software Engineer, Founding Engineer, AI/ML Engineer, or Fractional CTO roles, combining deep technical execution with product-minded leadership.

At S&P Global, I led development of an AI-powered assistant that accelerates document review by extracting insights from historical financial and market-data documents and generating technical report sections. I architected a GPT-4o pipeline for scanned PDFs, market datasets, filings, and regulatory records.

I also designed backend services and full-stack features for internal productivity tools, using Node.js, React, and TypeScript to automate document workflows. My work included distributed data pipelines and RESTful APIs for data retrieval and reporting.

At TD, I designed backend services for the 3rd Party Integrations platform, connecting retailer loyalty, incentives, and rewards systems. I also implemented SMS notifications and webhooks for key food delivery events.

Across roles at NCR Corporation, HP, FedEx Express Canada, Cognizant, BNP Paribas, and Royal Bank of Scotland, I’ve developed backend platforms, APIs, integrations, and full-stack products. At HP, I helped modernize platform components and delivered merchant-facing features; at BNP Paribas, I designed APIs and microservices using Java, Docker, and AWS Lambda.
