I’m a Full-Stack Software Engineer with 4+ years delivering scalable, customer-facing web applications across requirements, design, coding, testing, deployment, and operations. I’m at my best bridging product needs to robust systems—building component-driven UIs and integrating backend services that stay reliable under real-world load.

At Eventbrite, I engineered and delivered full-stack features using ReactJS, TypeScript, Next.js, and Python, supporting creator workflows used globally—driving ~88% adoption as the default creator experience. I built an accessible, reusable UI component library from scratch with Radix UI primitives, ensuring WCAG-compliant interactions across complex, multi-step flows.

On the backend, I designed and maintained RESTful APIs and Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) services that integrated multiple downstream microservices—unblocking frontend delivery and reducing over-fetching. I also developed Django-based RESTAPIs in a distributed microservices architecture, diagnosing data mapping/contract mismatches and reducing production incidents.

I strengthen teams’ velocity and confidence through automation and quality practices, implementing Playwright-based E2E testing for daily regression on critical user flows and leveraging CI/CD principles. I’ve built cloud-native services on AWS (Lambda, SQS, CDK, CloudWatch) with a focus on scalability, reliability, observability, and operational excellence, and I enjoy collaborating in Agile environments with product managers, designers, and distributed engineering teams.
