Senior Software Engineer specializing in game platforms and player-facing systems

Brier, WA27y exp

“Senior engineer with a rare mix of game-platform and mobile content-delivery experience: helped ship the Xbox 360 Party system and later architected the custom multi-catalog asset pipeline behind Netflix Stories. Particularly compelling for teams needing someone who can design scalable, low-memory, high-stability systems for live content across many titles and external partners.”

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in Ads frontend and high-scale web platforms

Kirkland, WA6y exp

“Backend engineer with ad-tech experience who improved advertiser dashboard accuracy by exempting 1% of traffic from ML-based dropping in a ~1B-requests/day pipeline, trading storage for higher customer satisfaction and reduced debugging load. Demonstrates strong migration discipline (phased rollouts, compatibility layers, rollback/change-history recovery) and production API/security practices in Python/FastAPI (async, caching, throttling, RBAC/RLS, monitoring).”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in AWS-based distributed systems and FinTech platforms

Seattle, WA8y exp

“Backend engineer with Amazon experience building large-scale, automated financial/accounting and pricing systems on AWS. Designed a fault-tolerant Step Functions + DynamoDB workflow platform handling 100K+ messages/sec to compute fair values and generate journal entries in under 3 seconds, and led safe API refactors using shadow mismatch testing. Also uncovered a major legacy pricing bug (tax vs non-tax swap) that cut mismatch rates from 5–10% to ~0.5% and materially improved price acceptance/business outcomes.”
