What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and scale cloud-native, AI-enabled platforms—especially real-time and distributed systems—where I can own production outcomes, improve reliability and performance, and partner with teams to ship measurable value with strong testing and security.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with experience designing and scaling distributed systems across SaaS, fintech, and healthcare, delivering measurable reliability and business impact for teams and production users. At Bank of America, I led modernization efforts migrating legacy UIs to React + TypeScript and backend services to Python (Django), while building real-time alerting for trade anomaly detection and improving risk control and data accuracy.

I’m hands-on across the full engineering lifecycle—from end-to-end production delivery (resolving 50+ issues across DEV/SIT/UAT/PROD) to incident response using Splunk and Dynatrace. I optimize for scalability and maintainability by refactoring SQL workflows into service layers (up to 35% performance improvement), implementing caching (30% faster API responses), and building LLM-powered applications, agentic systems, and high-performance APIs with rigorous testing (pytest, TDD) and pre-production validation.
