What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and scale production-critical, cloud-native platforms where I can lead architectural decisions, improve reliability and delivery speed, mentor engineers, and apply AI-assisted development to complex backend systems.

I've built payment platforms at Intuit and Deserve, delivering API-driven credit-card capabilities and payment microservices that process millions of annual transactions.

At Intuit, I lead the integration of the Deserve Credit Card Platform with QuickBooks and built an agentic AI workflow using Claude and Cursor that reduced payment microservice delivery from two weeks to three days. At Deserve, I led four engineers, improved API p95 latency by 35%, and built Kafka-based pipelines for real-time transaction processing.

I've also scaled OTT APIs at Vuclip, automated CI/CD deployments, modernized legacy systems, and delivered cloud infrastructure across AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Docker. I enjoy making production-critical platforms faster, more reliable, and easier for teams to evolve.
