I build clean, scalable systems - and ship fast.
Full-stack engineer specializing in React, Spring Boot, and cloud-native architecture. I turn complex problems into elegant solutions that scale.
Building Full-Stack Systems That Scale
I'm a software engineer with 4+ years of experience building distributed systems and cloud-native microservices. I specialize in designing high-availability applications that scale, working across the full stack - from React interfaces to Spring Boot microservices to AWS infrastructure.
Currently, I'm leading backend architecture at TheLaundryMobile, designing 100+ REST APIs and distributed order management systems using NestJS, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL. Previously at Mindtree, I owned end-to-end design of distributed systems supporting 200K+ active users across global insurance clients with 99.9% uptime.
When I'm not coding, I'm exploring machine learning applications, or diving deep into system design patterns. I recently completed my Master's in Computer Science at CSULB, where I built NLP pipelines for text classification research.

- ▹Reduced customer support tickets by 25% by developing React Native mobile app with real-time order tracking, push notifications, and intuitive checkout flow for iOS and Android
- ▹Integrated Stripe payments handling subscriptions, one-time orders, and automated invoicing with 99.8% transaction reliability
Research Assistant
California State University Long Beach
- ▹Developed NLP text classification pipeline using Python and scikit-learn, automating categorization of 10K+ research documents with 92% accuracy while maintaining model interpretability
- ▹Architected automated preprocessing workflows for academic research documents with tokenization and lemmatization, reducing data preparation time by 70% and enabling reproducible model retraining
Software Engineer
Mindtree
- ▹Owned end-to-end design of distributed full-stack systems using React, Java 17, and Spring Boot, supporting 200K+ active users across global insurance clients with 99.9% uptime
- ▹Built fault-tolerant microservices using Spring Security and Hibernate, implementing stateless APIs with circuit breakers, retry policies, and rate limiting, reducing production incidents by 32% and eliminating cascading failures
- ▹Integrated third-party APIs and payment gateways, ensuring PCI-compliant transactions across multiple regional markets
- ▹Optimized backend performance using PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis, applying query tuning, connection pooling, and caching that reduced API response times by 40% under peak traffic
- ▹Led CI/CD and containerization initiatives using GitHub Actions, Docker, and Kubernetes (EKS), reducing deployment time from hours to minutes and cutting environment-related issues by 45%
- ▹Collaborated with cross-functional teams to scope and deliver features, improving sprint velocity by 20% through better technical planning and estimation
- ▹Established observability practices across production services using Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK, enabling real-time monitoring that reduced mean time to resolution (MTTR) from 2 hours to 45 minutes
