About

I’m a Lead Software Engineer (LMTS) at Salesforce with 14+ years of experience building scalable, high-performance systems across cloud and on-prem environments. Lately, I’ve been exploring Generative AI and MCP tools—integrating platforms like Cursor and models such as Claude, GPT, and Gemini into development workflows to improve system design, speed up iteration cycles, and bring more intelligence into the engineering process. Earlier in my career at Amazon and Fidelity, I led platform transformations focused on performance, reliability, and scale—building low-latency, distributed systems that continue to support business-critical workloads. My core strengths include distributed systems, real-time application design, microservices architecture, and cloud-native systems. I work mainly with Java, but also bring experience in C#, Python, and JavaScript. I care about clean, modular code and systems that evolve well over time. At Salesforce, I lead engineering efforts around scalability and reliability, mentor engineers, and help drive technical alignment across teams—all with a long-term, product-focused mindset.
