What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building cloud-native, data-driven platforms; collaborative teams valuing TDD, mentoring, and measurable product impact.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years building scalable SaaS platforms and microservices using Python, C# (.NET), and Java (Spring Boot). I design cloud-native applications on AWS and Azure, integrate AI/ML models, and deliver high-performance, accessible user interfaces.

At Samsung, Microsoft, AMD, and Cox Automotive I architected microservices with Docker and Kubernetes, implemented IaC with Terraform, and streamlined CI/CD to dramatically reduce deployment time while improving uptime and test coverage. I have integrated ML using ML.NET, ONNX Runtime, and Python libraries to enable real-time analytics and recommendations.

I mentor developers, champion TDD and automated testing, and build data-intensive solutions across fintech, edtech, and analytics environments—prioritizing reliability, observability, and measurable user-impact.
