Experience

Started as a backend developer building REST APIs for a mid-size SaaS company. Progressed to lead engineer, designing and implementing a distributed event-driven architecture that replaced a legacy monolith. Managed a team of 5 engineers through the migration. Subsequently joined an early-stage startup as the first backend hire, building the entire data pipeline and API layer from scratch. Most recently served as a principal engineer at a scale-up, responsible for system architecture decisions across 12 microservices processing financial transactions.
