I build scalable backend platforms and distributed systems for millions.

I've built mission-critical financial workflows at SoFi Technologies and high-throughput survey platforms at SurveyMonkey, using TypeScript, Node.js, Python, Kafka, and cloud-native microservices. My work includes real-time transaction pipelines, low-latency APIs, WebSocket infrastructure, and LLM-based internal tools using RAG.

I've led monolith-to-microservices migrations, improved critical API latency by about 30%, and established observability practices with Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK. I enjoy mentoring engineers, shaping architecture, and delivering resilient systems that support high-volume data and customer-facing products.
