• At AccelByte, I led performance engineering initiatives for large-scale live game backends, including work to support 1M+ concurrent users. I architected a k6, Grafana, and Jenkins performance framework for scalable, repeatable load testing across multiple services, built profiling and simulation tools in Java, Golang, and Python that reduced profiling cycles from days to minutes, and automated load-testing workflows to cut profile creation from weeks to minutes and execution timelines from months to days. I also standardized performance environments through containerization and infrastructure-as-code, mentored engineers on load testing and observability, and used AI-assisted tooling to improve reporting, cost analysis, and regression detection.

• At Calabrio, I focused on performance engineering for backend services, designing and maintaining JMeter-based load test suites integrated into CI/CD to catch regressions early. I tuned AWS services to improve reliability under sustained load, built Grafana and Datadog dashboards to surface bottlenecks and capacity trends, and partnered with QA and DevOps to align synthetic load testing with real production behaviour.
