What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a mission-critical environment where I can design microservices, improve reliability and performance, and build real-time telemetry/AI-enabled workflows—partnering closely with hardware teams and mentoring engineers.

I’m a senior software engineer focused on scalable backend microservices, distributed systems, and telemetry data pipelines, especially where real-time, mission-critical hardware matters. I bring strong Linux-based system design, automation frameworks, and a reliability-first mindset for aerospace and defense-style operations.

At Whirlpool Corporation, I engineered full-stack applications with .NET Core, Python/FastAPI, Next.js, and TypeScript—improving API response times by 35% and frontend load speed by 40%. I integrated OpenAI APIs and LangChain to deliver LLM-powered automation and internal knowledge search for 5,000+ users.

I also led backend microservices work using C#/.NET and Node.js on AWS Lambda, ECS, and API Gateway, raising system reliability to 99.9% uptime. I established CI/CD with GitHub Actions and Docker, improving deployment velocity by 50% while increasing unit and integration test automation coverage.

Previously at Rocket Companies and Amway, I built and optimized enterprise systems and REST APIs, administered Azure/GCP infrastructure, and improved performance through database tuning and test coverage. I mentor developers through code reviews and pair programming, and I thrive partnering with hardware teams to integrate telemetry and resolve anomalies early.
