About

With over 13 years of experience in software engineering, I am a passionate and visionary leader who strives to deliver impactful and scalable solutions that solve real-world problems. As an Engineering Manager at MetaMap, I spearhead the development of critical product features and orchestrate re-architecture initiatives to enhance system performance significantly. In my current role, I pioneered the transition to a microservices architecture, catalyzing independent and expedited CI/CD processes, resulting in accelerated release cycles. I also participated the migration from a custom event-based workflow system to Camunda workflow, following thorough evaluations of AWS Step Functions, Netflix Conductor, and Camunda. I devised and implemented a transpiler to seamlessly convert unstructured workflow nodes from the UI into Camunda workflows. Moreover, I enhanced a versatile Camunda worker node capable of executing JavaScript code, instrumental in enabling conditions defined by merchant and dynamic workflow behavior.
