I'm Engineering Manager at ElastiFlow, after serving as a Senior Software Engineer there. I lead technical delivery while building systems that streamline business functions and improve operational efficiency.

At Paro.io, I rebuilt the invoicing system around event-driven architecture and choreographed sagas, enabling more nuanced billing rules and increased monthly revenue. I also migrated manually created AWS resources into CloudFormation, added QA environments and automated testing pipelines, and helped support a successful Series C fundraiser.

Previously, at Inspire11, I led six engineers building a serverless insurance agent portal and coached clients on agile practices, CI/CD, testing, and component-based architecture. My background also includes reporting infrastructure at Avero and mobile appointment scheduling features for BMW Technology Corporation.
