What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead backend architecture, deliver reliability-focused data pipelines, and raise engineering quality through testing and security. I want to collaborate with product and platform teams to scale systems that customers actually feel.

I’m a Software Engineer II who builds backend platforms that turn complex, multi-team workflows into fast, reliable systems—especially in environments on Microsoft Azure and security-focused domains. At Microsoft, I led engineering for a Risk Management platform serving 5200+ engineering teams and automated quarterly Risk Threat Mitigation from months to under 15 minutes per team.

I design metadata-driven experiences that reduce onboarding friction, such as a zero-code division onboarding flow that dynamically renders UI from ADO Work Item Type schemas. I also create unified data models and ingestion pipelines that consolidate risk data from 6+ sources with a 1-minute SLA and 99.9% uptime, eliminating manual quarterly aggregation for thousands of teams.

I care deeply about quality and resilience, so I’ve led security and testing improvements (eliminating critical vulnerabilities and increasing API test coverage from 35% to 80%). Previously, I fixed large-scale data integrity issues and scaled microservices and integrations—then led a migration to a 20-microservice AWS platform, improved performance and revenue outcomes, and enhanced search relevance/latency at scale.
