What I'm looking for

I’m seeking senior engineering roles building scalable, secure cloud-native systems with strong emphasis on microservices, observability, and team mentorship.

I am a Senior Full Stack Engineer with deep expertise in Golang, Node.js (TypeScript), and Python, focused on building scalable microservices, distributed systems, and event-driven architectures for financial applications. I design high-performance APIs, real-time data pipelines, and cloud-native solutions using Kafka, gRPC, Kubernetes, and Terraform.

At Fanatics and prior roles I architected fault-tolerant transaction processing systems, implemented streaming pipelines for real-time fraud detection, and improved database performance with advanced indexing and partitioning. I’ve led observability and CI/CD improvements, containerized deployments with Docker and Kubernetes, and automated infrastructure provisioning with Terraform and AWS CDK.

I combine backend performance tuning, security best practices (OAuth2, JWT, mTLS), and frontend experience (React, Angular) to deliver end-to-end solutions that meet compliance and production-scale requirements while mentoring teams and driving reliable, maintainable systems.
