“Backend engineer who has led major platform evolution to cloud-native microservices (Spring Boot on AWS with Terraform) and built scalable, secure FastAPI APIs. Demonstrates strong production rigor with metric-driven validation, canary/phased rollouts, and incremental migrations using shadow traffic/feature flags/parallel writes—achieving faster deployments, fewer incidents, and zero-downtime traffic spikes and migrations.”

“Software engineer in the mortgage/financial services domain (Freddie Mac) who builds end-to-end loan origination and credit risk capabilities using Spring Boot microservices, Angular dashboards, and data pipelines. Delivered measurable impact (30% reduction in underwriting turnaround time) and emphasizes production reliability/compliance with strong guardrails, observability, and evaluation loops for risk scoring systems.”

“Uber engineer who has owned internal products end-to-end across backend (Spring Boot microservices, MySQL) and frontend (React), including performance optimization and secure JWT-based auth. Also shipped a production internal RAG/embeddings LLM support assistant over policy docs and support tickets, with guardrails (confidence thresholds, human review) and an evaluation loop that directly reduced hallucinations.”
