Senior full-stack engineer building scalable consumer platforms and GraphQL/AI-driven systems.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience building large-scale consumer platforms, subscription products, and developer-facing systems. I thrive designing scalable APIs and optimizing frontend performance with React, TypeScript, GraphQL, and cloud-native architecture—delivering user experiences used by millions of customers.
Most recently at The New York Times, I architected federated GraphQL services, improved average page-load times by ~22% through rendering and query tuning, and increased feature iteration speed by ~30% with experimentation and A/B testing. I also mentor engineers through design and code reviews, support hiring, and prototype generative AI workflows (LLM-based search, content discovery, and knowledge retrieval) to reduce manual effort for editorial teams.
