What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my skills in cloud technologies and software development to drive impactful projects.

I am a Staff Software Engineer with a strong background in developing scalable and efficient software solutions. Currently, I lead backend development for a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform at Amazon, where I have successfully integrated advanced technologies to enhance patient care and streamline operations. My work has resulted in a significant reduction in appointment wait times and improved data security.

Before my role at Amazon, I was a Site Reliability Engineer at Datadog, where I designed and implemented a large-scale data pipeline that processed over 10TB of data daily. My efforts in optimizing Kafka's partitioning strategy led to a 200% improvement in throughput, showcasing my ability to tackle complex challenges and deliver impactful results. I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve real-world problems and continuously seek opportunities to innovate.
