About

Software Development Manager at Amazon with 7+ years of experience building and scaling Tier-1, low-latency payment systems. I lead high-performing team of 12+ engineers and own platforms end-to-end, from architecture and execution to operational excellence. My focus areas include system design, technical leadership, and growing engineers into strong owners and future leaders. I enjoy solving ambiguous problems, setting clear technical direction, and partnering with Product and ML teams to deliver customer-centric solutions at scale. I’ve led complex cross-org initiatives, contributed to hiring and org-level leadership efforts, and co-invented a US-issued patent in low-latency recommendation systems. I care deeply about engineering culture, reliability, and building systems that last.
