What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles leading cloud migrations, payments/platform reliability, and cost-optimization programs at mission-driven teams that value measurable impact, automation, and mentorship.

I am a lead software engineer with deep experience in cloud-native payments, cost optimization, and observability across large-scale systems. At Capital One I built cost visibility and allocation dashboards, launched optimization programs, and automated governance to improve audit readiness and time-to-value.

I led migrations of card authorization and debit processing to AWS with staged cutovers and no customer downtime, rebuilt core payments services to improve authorization performance, and tuned routing and risk checks to reduce false declines. I also shipped analytics and optimization tooling that materially reduced Snowflake and compute spend for pilot groups.

I mentor and collaborate with distributed teams across time zones, focusing on reliability, security (PCI DSS), and developer productivity. I seek to lead engineering efforts that modernize payments and data platforms while delivering measurable cost and performance improvements.
