What I'm looking for

I seek a senior engineering role focused on scalable, cloud-native systems, real-time data processing, strong observability, collaborative teams, and opportunities to mentor and drive architectural impact.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with eight years of experience building high-scale streaming platforms and enterprise automation solutions. I focus on designing event-driven microservices, resilient data pipelines, and performant APIs using Java, Node.js, and TypeScript.

At Amazon, I contributed to Prime Video's global streaming platform, implementing Java Spring Boot services, Kafka streaming, and AWS-based deployments that processed hundreds of thousands of events per second and supported millions of concurrent users. I improved API response times and reduced deployment incidents through CI/CD and container orchestration.

Previously at Pegasystems I developed core backend modules for workflow and case management, built Node.js microservices on Google Cloud, and implemented event-driven architectures with RabbitMQ to reliably process high volumes of transactions for enterprise clients. I also designed databases, containerized services, and integrated analytics to reduce case resolution time.

I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, mentor junior engineers, and prioritize observability, automation, and secure, compliant designs. I seek to apply my expertise in distributed systems, cloud platforms, and real-time data processing to deliver measurable business impact.
