Senior Software Engineer at TaskRabbit building Python marketplace services for matching, scheduling, dispatch, and payments.

At TaskRabbit, I own backend service layers for core marketplace systems covering matching, availability, scheduling, dispatch, trust and safety, and payments. I build Python APIs with FastAPI and Django for React and TypeScript applications.

I optimize marketplace request paths with bounded concurrency, Redis caching, and PostgreSQL query improvements. I also participate in on-call ownership, improving monitoring and recovery paths for production incidents.

At Tandem, I designed and built services for a two-sided childcare platform, including Kafka workflows for matching, shift assignments, notifications, and payments. Earlier, at JPMorgan Chase, I delivered full-stack applications across financial systems.
