What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a seasoned Lead Engineer with extensive experience in technical architecture, software design, and the development of secure, enterprise applications. My journey has been marked by a commitment to delivering high-quality software solutions while leading and mentoring cross-functional teams. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can engage stakeholders and drive projects to successful completion.

Throughout my career, I have successfully implemented security features, optimized backend systems, and developed innovative solutions that enhance application performance. My work at Guardant Health, for instance, significantly reduced patient report generation time from over 10 days to just 3 days. I have a proven track record of managing teams and delivering complex projects, such as architecting multi-tenant cloud-based applications and leading digital transformations.

With a strong foundation in both technical and team leadership, I am passionate about leveraging my skills to create impactful solutions that meet the evolving needs of the industry. I am continuously seeking opportunities to innovate and improve processes, ensuring that my contributions lead to tangible results.
