Senior web developer specializing in cloud-native APIs, AI, and scalable security systems.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a senior web developer and engineering leader with a decade of experience designing and shipping cloud-native APIs and AI-powered platforms focused on threat detection and crowdsourced security.
At Altoros I led architecture and delivery of a FastAPI/Python platform on AWS EKS, scaling telemetry to millions of events per day while reducing median API latency by 63% and improving model detection precision by 37%.
Previously at Microsoft and PayPal I built high-performance front-ends, search systems, and data pipelines—raising conversion, reducing latencies, and automating testing and observability to cut incident rates and recovery times.
I mentor and grow engineering teams, implement robust CI/CD, security controls, and observability, and deliver SOC2/GDPR-aligned systems that balance scalability, performance, and compliance.
