About

As a Senior Software Engineer at Akamai Technologies, I bring a wealth of experience in designing and implementing robust, scalable solutions. My journey from Infrrd to Akamai has been marked by a strong focus on distributed systems, API development, and performance optimization. I have a proven track record of reducing code duplication, improving operational efficiency, and resolving complex production issues swiftly. At Akamai, I took ownership of critical components, such as the Addendum data parser, and spearheaded initiatives like distributed tracing, which significantly improved error communication and log collection across services. My expertise extends to developing and optimizing REST APIs, where I’ve achieved performance boosts of up to 80%. My work in developing a dependency validation tool and enhancing PDF order forms has directly contributed to higher productivity and customer satisfaction. At Infrrd, I led POCs that resulted in high client conversion rates and implemented data extraction improvements that reduced latency by 75%. With a solid foundation in Java, Spring Boot, Hibernate, and other cutting-edge technologies, I am passionate about pushing the boundaries of what software can achieve. I am also an active contributor to the developer community with a notable presence on Stack Overflow, where I’ve earned multiple badges for my contributions.
