What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles where I can design scalable, observable cloud-native systems, mentor teams, and deliver measurable product and reliability improvements.

I am a senior software engineer with 10+ years building scalable, production-grade systems across fintech, retail, and AI startups. I design event-driven services, ML-integrated workflows, and responsive real-time user interfaces that deliver measurable business outcomes.

At SoFi I developed and scaled a Loan Platform supporting $5.1B in originated personal loans, built partner-facing interfaces and routing engines, and integrated ML detectors to reduce manual reviews and fraud exposure. At Amazon I led engineering for DashCart, improving checkout throughput and edge UI responsiveness while integrating real-time item classification.

I have deep expertise in Java, Python, Go, React, GraphQL, and cloud-native infrastructure (AWS, Terraform, ArgoCD), and a strong track record of improving reliability, reducing latency, and increasing automation and test coverage.

I am collaborative and detail-oriented, experienced mentoring engineers, leading cross-functional design reviews, and delivering systems that balance operational visibility, security, and customer-focused execution.
