What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building scalable, AI-enabled payment or backend platforms where I can lead architecture, mentor engineers, and deliver measurable product impact.

I am a senior full-stack software engineer with 10 years of experience building scalable web applications across startups and high-growth tech companies. I focus on clean architecture, developer experience, and cross-functional collaboration.

At Stripe, I contributed to major product launches including Stripe Link, Stripe Treasury, and the Optimized Checkout Suite, and worked on AI-driven initiatives like the Payments Foundation Model and an internal LLM Explorer. My work emphasized performance, fraud reduction, and checkout personalization.

Previously at Nextiva, I engineered scalable microservices and real-time systems, built AI voice-agent interfaces, and implemented HIPAA-compliant solutions for healthcare use cases while improving uptime and reducing response times.

I mentor engineers, lead system-design reviews, and champion observability and best practices across frontend and backend stacks, leveraging modern languages and cloud-native infrastructure to deliver measurable business impact.
