I’m a Full-Stack Engineer with 9+ years of experience building scalable, data-intensive applications, with strong expertise in Java, Spring Boot, microservices, Kafka, and distributed systems. At Visa, I worked on fraud and risk intelligence platforms processing ~1 TB of data daily and led a team of 6 engineers.

What makes me unique is my combination of hands-on technical depth, end-to-end ownership, and business understanding. I enjoy solving complex problems—from understanding requirements and designing architecture to improving performance, handling production issues, and mentoring engineers. I’ve also explored practical GenAI use cases to enhance existing products.

I’m at my best in environments where I can solve challenging engineering problems, take ownership, and build scalable products that create real business impact.
