Software Engineer
10k+API requests a day at under 200ms p95
99.95%uptime on AWS infrastructure I architected
60%faster deployments
35%lower cloud costs
Joined as a full stack engineer and grew into the team's architect, owning how 3 production applications were built, deployed, secured and monitored on AWS. Later led process automation across finance and operations.
- Full stack engineeringShipped features across 3 production applications: TypeScript, React and Next.js interfaces with Redux and Tailwind, documented in Storybook, backed by Node.js, GraphQL and serverless APIs, including real time communication with WebRTC.TypeScriptReactNext.jsReduxTailwindStorybookNode.jsGraphQLWebRTC
- Architecture and DevOpsDesigned the platform the team built on: Terraform and Ansible for infrastructure, Jenkins, GitLab CI and GitHub Actions for delivery, Docker on ECR and EKS, and event driven microservices in Nx and Turborepo monorepos.TerraformAnsibleJenkinsGitLab CIGitHub ActionsDockerEKSNxTurborepoKafka
- Observability and cloud securityGave the team full visibility with CloudWatch, Datadog, Sentry and OpenSearch, and locked down AWS with GuardDuty, Inspector, Security Hub, KMS, Secrets Manager and role based access control.CloudWatchDatadogSentryOpenSearchGuardDutyInspectorSecurity HubKMS
- Process automationAutomated finance and operations workflows by connecting QuickBooks, Zoho and Stripe, using custom Python services, the OpenAI API, Make.com and Zapier.PythonOpenAI APIMake.comZapierQuickBooksZohoStripe
Highlights
- Architected backend services handling 10,000+ API requests a day at under 200ms p95 across 3 production applications.
- Led the migration from a legacy monolith to event driven microservices communicating over Kafka, SQS, SNS, EventBridge and Pub/Sub, cutting service coupling by 70% and absorbing 3x traffic surges.
- Built serverless services on Lambda and API Gateway, with ElastiCache for caching.
- Built CI/CD in Jenkins, GitLab CI and GitHub Actions with automated tests, Snyk dependency scanning and OWASP ZAP security scans, cutting deployment time by 60% with zero downtime blue green releases across 4 environments.
- Engineered AWS infrastructure in Terraform and Ansible, with containers on ECR and EKS, auto scaling and multi AZ load balancing, reaching 99.95% uptime while lowering cloud costs by 35%.
- Hardened AWS with GuardDuty, Inspector, Security Hub and CloudTrail for threat detection and audit, Secrets Manager and KMS for secrets and encryption, Cognito for user identity and Systems Manager for fleet management.
- Implemented role based access control (RBAC) with OAuth 2.0 and JWT authentication across the applications.
- Set up observability with CloudWatch dashboards and alarms, Datadog monitoring, Sentry error tracking and OpenSearch (Elasticsearch) log search.
- Organized codebases into monorepos with Nx, Turborepo, Lerna and pnpm workspaces.
- Built a testing setup across unit, end to end and API layers with Jest, Cypress, Playwright and Postman, wired into the CI pipelines.
- Integrated 5 business platforms (QuickBooks, Zoho, Stripe, Make.com and Zapier) into automated workflows, and built Python automations on the OpenAI API.
- Led code reviews for a team of 6 engineers and mentored 3 junior developers on design patterns and secure coding.
