About

Senior Backend Engineer with 7+ years of experience designing and building high-scale, regulated backend systems in compliance, payments, and fraud domains. I currently work at Airbnb, where I own backend architecture for compliance and operations tooling serving millions of users and 10,000+ internal agents. My work focuses on balancing regulatory enforcement, system performance, and user experience in distributed, cloud-native environments. I have led end-to-end system design initiatives including centralized compliance platforms, progressive KYC workflows, and low-latency data access layers—resulting in measurable impact such as 50% reduction in investigation time, sub-second critical data retrieval, and significant infrastructure cost savings. I enjoy solving complex backend problems involving scale, data consistency, latency, and tradeoffs under real-world constraints. I work primarily with Java-based microservices, event-driven architectures, and distributed data systems on AWS. Tech focus: Java, Distributed Systems, Microservices, Kafka, MySQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, AWS Open to senior backend, platform, and distributed systems roles at product-focused companies.
