About

Backend Software Engineer with 2+ years of experience building scalable, high-performance systems in the fintech and lending domain. Currently working at Wells Fargo, where I contribute to large-scale backend modernization initiatives, including a migration that eliminated third-party dependencies and delivered ~$1M in annual cost savings. I focus on building reliable, event-driven systems using Java, Spring Boot, and Kafka, with growing exposure to GenAI-powered automation. Previously at Deutsche Bank, I worked on global payment surveillance and settlement systems processing $1B+ daily transactions across multiple countries, ensuring compliance with ISO 20022 and SWIFT standards. I enjoy solving complex backend problems, designing clean APIs, and thinking deeply about scalability, reliability, and system design. Actively preparing for SDE-2 roles at product-based companies and open to impactful backend and platform engineering opportunities.
