About

I'm an experienced backend engineer working for Amazon's Payment org. I own the design and execute development by leading and guiding other engineers to deliver the best to Amazon's customer. I'm hands-on on coding, infrastructure, operation and put a high quality bar on that. As an Amazonian, I obsess with my customers and always try to resolve any of their problems. Very often, that requires a scalable and maintainable solution that I always deliver, even though sometimes it can be related to some tough domains such as Foreign exchange, Accounting or Insurance. Prior to Amazon, I had strong experience with mobile development and image processing which are very helpful to myself sometimes.
