Employment History

Senior Software Engineer at Maybern Current 2025 - Now
• Architected private-markets workflows across the Maybern platform using FastAPI, Django ORM, PostgreSQL, and Redis to synchronize investor operations with React interfaces. • Orchestrated event-driven document and transaction pipelines with Celery, RabbitMQ, and Pydantic, hardening schema validation, retries, and auditability across sensitive investment workflows. • Integrated an AI document-intelligence feature into the Maybern platform using Python services, retrieval pipelines, and React review flows, reducing analyst turnaround 34%. • Implemented Next.js and TypeScript interfaces with TanStack Query, Zustand, and WebSockets, preserving consistency between underwriting views and backend state transitions. • Optimized PostgreSQL query plans, connection pooling, and cache invalidation across portfolio services, cutting p95 response latency 41% during peak diligence cycles. • Strengthened delivery quality through Pytest, Playwright, and React Testing Library, enforcing contract tests, accessibility checks, and deterministic release gates. • Standardized engineering workflows with GitHub Actions, Docker, and GitHub Copilot, accelerating code reviews and cross-team delivery without weakening compliance controls.
Senior Software Engineer at Ridgeline 2022 - 2025
• Led full-stack architecture for the Ridgeline Mobile & AI Agent Framework using FastAPI, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, and React Native shared business logic. • Designed resilient synchronization between mobile clients and backend services with Redis, Celery, and WebSockets, preserving offline mutations and eventual consistency semantics. • Embedded an AI agent capability inside the Ridgeline Mobile platform using Python orchestration and React surfaces, improving task completion rates 27%. • Advanced complex client state with TypeScript, Redux Toolkit, and XState, coordinating long-running workflows, optimistic updates, and granular permission-aware rendering. • Optimized native bridge performance in React Native through background threading, encrypted SQLite persistence, and OTA release controls for field reliability. • Instituted quality gates with Pytest, Jest, Detox, and ESLint, validating API contracts, device behavior, and regression-sensitive interaction paths. • Partnered with DevOps on Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, and Cursor workflows, shortening release cadence 32% while preserving observability and rollback safety.
Senior Software Engineer at Google 2019 - 2022
• Engineered connected-home services for Google Nest and Project Nightingale using Python, gRPC, PostgreSQL, and Redis to support real-time device coordination. • Implemented React web surfaces with TypeScript, Redux, and WebSockets, aligning telemetry-heavy interfaces with backend streaming events and strict accessibility requirements. • Hardened service reliability through Pytest, schema migrations, connection-pool tuning, and cache strategies, reducing incident volume 23% across critical user journeys. • Integrated secure mobile experiences with React Native, local persistence, and push workflows, keeping account and device state synchronized across platforms. • Collaborated across product, SRE, and security teams to refine observability, rollout controls, and privacy-sensitive data handling for consumer and health-adjacent systems.
Software Engineer II at Walmart 2016 - 2019
• Delivered commerce workflows for Uniquely J and City Grocery Service using Django, PostgreSQL, React, and Redux across ordering and fulfillment surfaces. • Improved catalog and checkout responsiveness through query optimization, pagination strategies, and Redis caching, increasing peak-hour throughput 19% without infrastructure overprovisioning. • Expanded test coverage with Pytest, Jest, and integration suites, stabilizing releases while coordinating frontend-backend contract changes across multiple delivery teams.
Software Engineer at BlackRock 2011 - 2016
• Implemented risk-analysis features within the Aladdin Risk platform using Python, Django, PostgreSQL, and server-rendered interfaces for internal financial workflows. • Strengthened data integrity with migration discipline, ORM query tuning, and automated unittest coverage, reducing reconciliation defects 18% in downstream reporting.
