About

Hi! I am a software engineer with experience in designing and building software applications. Specifically, I have experience with full stack software development with major focus on the backend. I'm experienced with building products from scratch at multiple startup companies. Having worked with both small and large-scale companies and products, my experience has been diverse. I have worked on both 0 -> 1 projects and scaling high throughput applications during my tenure at various companies. In the past, I've worked on E-commerce, Data privacy, AdTech and HRTech. I am a detail-oriented individual and a team player. I am currently looking for backend engineering roles in the Seattle area. I believe I could add good value to your team and have a mutually rewarding experience. Please reach out if you believe we'd be a good fit for each other.
