Staff software engineer specializing in scalable, secure distributed systems for fintech.
What I'm looking for
I am a Staff Software Engineer with 11 years of experience designing distributed systems and delivering scalable solutions for fintech and e-commerce platforms. I focus on high-availability architectures, regulatory compliance, and measurable operational improvements.
At Robinhood I led the design and implementation of a scalable Case Management System using Python and Go, integrated LLMs for automated triage, and built event-driven pipelines with Kafka and Spark to improve resolution accuracy and speed.
Previously at Shopify I architected payment and CMS solutions using Ruby on Rails and Node.js, integrated multiple payment gateways, and drove DevOps automation that reduced release cycles dramatically. I consistently deliver secure, production-grade systems on AWS and cloud platforms.
I mentor engineers, foster cross-functional collaboration, and shape technical roadmaps that align with business goals. I pursue roles where I can continue to build resilient systems, scale teams, and drive measurable product and operational impact.
