What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles where I can design scalable systems, lead cross-functional teams, mentor engineers, and deliver high-impact, reliable products.

I am a senior software engineer and technical leader with over 10 years of experience building high-performance distributed systems for consumer products.

At Robinhood I architected horizontally scalable Go and Python microservices, led frontend and mobile teams using React/Next.js/TypeScript, and shipped features that drove 25% DAU growth while handling 750k req/sec peaks.

At Amazon Prime Video I designed livestreaming backends and global delivery architectures supporting NFL broadcasts for 18.4M viewers, built real-time telemetry pipelines, and implemented multi-CDN high-availability streaming solutions.

I am passionate about clean architecture, observability, automation, mentoring engineers, and shipping impactful products that balance performance, reliability, and compliance.
