About

Backend engineer with 5+ years of experience building and operating large-scale, event-driven platforms in the supply chain domain at Walmart and Sam’s Club. I currently work on streaming and API-driven systems that ingest millions of real-world logistics events daily to generate inventory ETAs and real-time visibility for internal teams, stores, and external partners. My work spans end-to-end ownership — from discovery and system design to production rollout and on-call support — with a strong focus on scalability, reliability, and operational excellence. I have contributed to platforms processing ~5M Kafka events/day and serving ~1M+ API requests/day, enabling improved inventory predictability, reduced operational incidents, and measurable business impact. I enjoy working on distributed systems, debugging production issues at scale, and collaborating across engineering and business teams to turn ambiguous problems into robust backend solutions.
