Career trajectory
A software engineer who ships across the whole stack, then hardens the system underneath it.
Experience spans payments modernization, service migration, SRE operations, infrastructure cost control, and application delivery across multiple industries.
Platform ownership
Software engineer with real platform ownership, not just feature delivery. System migrations, operational stability, developer flow improvements, and production-risk reduction are all part of the track record.
Software Engineer
- Led Interac payment system upgrade from 3.4 to 3.6 while keeping downstream banking integrations aligned.
- Migrated backend services from MuleSoft to Spring Framework to improve maintainability, scalability, and runtime performance.
- Introduced shift-left testing with Cucumber and cut test failures by 80%.
Senior Site Reliability Engineer
- Built deployment, packaging, and monitoring software in React and Django to improve reliability and operational speed.
- Resolved service bottlenecks across the stack and introduced monitoring for availability, latency, and system health.
- Provided tier 2 and 3 escalation support for cloud data services in a production-heavy environment.
Infrastructure, DevOps, and platform engineering
- Architected highly available backend infrastructure and introduced backup, disaster recovery, and staging strategies.
- Saved over $73,000 USD annually by integrating Redis into production cloud infrastructure.
- Migrated monolithic systems to AWS-based microservices and serverless data pipelines.
