Lead AI Software Engineer | Distributed Systems | Cloud & Backend Architecture

I'm a full-stack software engineer with 9+ years shipping web applications end to end - TypeScript/React frontends through Python, Java, Go, and Node.js backends - for AI-driven SaaS products, global payment platforms, and enterprise software.

Most recently as Lead Software Engineer at Glean, I led architecture for distributed services operated to a 99.9% availability target while delivering features across the full stack. Before that, I built customer-facing payments features end to end at Nium and shipped client products across React, Vue, and Angular codebases at X-Team.

Across the stack, I work on:

• Frontend - React, Vue, Angular, TypeScript, single-page applications, and component-based UI development
• Backend - REST and GraphQL APIs, microservices, event-driven systems (Kafka), PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB
• Cloud & delivery - AWS/GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, and hardened CI/CD pipelines
• AI features - LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic), RAG, vector databases (pgvector, Pinecone); open-source contributor to DreamServer, a self-hosted AI platform

What I bring to a team:

• End-to-end ownership - I take features from UI through API, database, and deployment, without handoffs
• Performance and reliability - p95 latency cuts, reduced cloud spend, observability, and automated testing that lowers incident rates
• Mentorship - design reviews, code reviews, and engineering standards adopted across distributed, remote-first teams
