About

I’m a Senior Software Development Engineer with 13+ years of experience designing and delivering large-scale distributed systems, low-latency backend platforms, and AI-driven automation solutions across global engineering teams at Amazon, Cohesity, Directi, Microsoft, and Goldman Sachs. My expertise spans microservices architecture, serverless computing, event-driven systems, and AWS-native scalability patterns. At Amazon, I’ve led multiple high-impact backend initiatives from modernizing monolithic architectures into resilient microservices to defining long-term architecture roadmaps aligned with cross-border commerce growth. Additionally, defined company-wide architecture standards and mentored 10+ engineers to elevate backend engineering excellence. I’m deeply passionate about architectural rigor, system scalability, and solving ambiguity through design. My approach blends strong coding fundamentals in Java with hands-on experience in AWS and distributed system observability. Driven by curiosity and technical precision, I aim to build systems that are scalable by design, observable by default, and extensible for the future.
