About

I’m a backend-focused software engineer building scalable systems at the intersection of backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, and AI-powered products. At Wells Fargo, I worked on enterprise Spring Boot services powering commercial loan workflows across multiple internal platforms. My work included designing REST APIs, leading a Java 11 → Java 17 production migration, decommissioning legacy integrations, implementing RBAC-based access controls, building internal tools with React and TypeScript, and improving production performance and observability with Prometheus and Grafana. At Qualcomm, I work on Java backend services and distributed cloud workflows, building systems that orchestrate complex engineering workloads across AWS infrastructure. I’ve worked with services such as Step Functions, Lambda, and EC2 to automate workflows and significantly reduce system setup and onboarding time. Alongside my professional work, I’m building a stealth consumer startup where I own the technology stack end-to-end — from backend services and Next.js applications to cloud infrastructure, production deployments, and large-scale product onboarding pipelines. The platform uses semantic search, embeddings, and personalized discovery to help users make better product decisions with greater transparency and trust. I’m particularly interested in building AI systems that go beyond model experimentation — reliable backend infrastructure, retrieval and search, intelligent workflows, personalization, evaluation, and the engineering required to take AI-powered products from prototype to production.
