About

Full Stack Engineer with 5+ years of experience building scalable backend systems, cloud-native applications, and real-time distributed platforms across large-scale technology environments. Currently at Stripe, I build Python-based APIs, microservices, and event-driven backend systems supporting high-volume payment workflows, improving API efficiency, latency, and developer experience across production-scale systems. Previously at Meta, I worked on real-time content processing and ML-integrated backend platforms handling millions of daily events, optimizing moderation latency and distributed processing workflows. Skilled in Python, FastAPI, React, Kafka, Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, and scalable microservices architecture, with strong experience in real-time systems, cloud infrastructure, and AI-integrated backend platforms. Passionate about building reliable, high-performance systems at scale.
