What I'm looking for

I seek a hands‑on engineering role building scalable, customer‑facing systems in a collaborative, fast‑paced team where I can lead technical design, mentor engineers, and impact product performance.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years building full‑stack, cloud‑native systems for startups and enterprises, specializing in high‑throughput trading infrastructure, real‑time data visualizations, and scalable microservices. I lead design and implementation efforts using React/Next.js, Node, Python, and Go, and I mentor engineers to deliver production‑grade software.

At Robinhood I engineered crypto trading products and core services that improved latency, reduced API response times, and strengthened fraud detection using AI. I have a strong record automating deployments on AWS, optimizing frontend performance, and building fault‑tolerant architectures that support millions of users.
