About

5+ years of experience as a SWE - building and scaling backend systems in large, distributed environments. I’ve worked across system design, data platforms, service modernization, and developer productivity, owning projects end-to-end from design through production. I’m comfortable operating in ambiguous problem spaces, collaborating closely with cross-functional stakeholders, and delivering reliable, maintainable solutions at scale. Known for solid engineering fundamentals, clear thinking, and strong ownership, I enjoy working on problems where correctness, scalability, and long-term design matter.
