What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reliable, secure APIs and cloud platforms, with opportunities to solve distributed-systems challenges, improve developer tooling, and grow through collaborative engineering work.

At Bank of America, I build and operate high-availability payment-clearing microservices and Kafka-based event pipelines processing 500K+ transactions daily. I’ve implemented AES encryption for secure payment transmission and reliable retry workflows that prevent duplicate-charge risk.

I’ve delivered 10+ MuleSoft APIs, led a zero-downtime Mule 3.9 to 4.0 migration, and improved production stability through stronger message handling, monitoring, and CI/CD quality gates. I also mentor junior engineers and build Java, Spring Boot, AWS, and developer-tooling projects.
