Experienced designing TypeScript/React systems and operating RabbitMQ-based microservices at scale, including disciplined event contracts, idempotent consumers, and schema evolution strategies. Also created an internal real-time troubleshooting/pricing console that replaced fragmented tools and improved support resolution workflows through pilot-led adoption.”

“Cloud infrastructure/product engineer with end-to-end ownership of cloud-native storage/observability products, including taking an internal CMS to Google Cloud Marketplace and scaling to ~40,000 deployments. Strong in Kubernetes-based platforms (Operators, microservices, RabbitMQ) and performance/scalability work (e.g., 200% cluster capacity increase) plus internal tooling that materially improved SRE/QA debugging and release velocity.”

“Backend engineer with fintech/real-estate lending domain experience (Berkadia) building Python/Flask services for indicative loan pricing across Fannie/Freddie workflows. Strong in scalable AWS architectures (S3, Lambda, SageMaker), database performance (PostgreSQL read replicas, indexing, pooling), and high-throughput optimizations (streaming exports, Redis caching) with measurable production impact.”

“JavaScript/React-focused engineer with meaningful open-source impact: redesigned cache key normalization for a client-side data fetching/caching library using deterministic hashing, added robust test coverage, and collaborated closely with maintainers through GitHub PRs/issues.
