I’m a Senior Software Engineer with nearly 9 years of experience in software development, spanning domains such as Developer Experience (DevX), Identity Security, and database technologies. Currently, I work at Affirm on the Online Storage team. Previously I’ve worked with Amazon Web Services as part of the Aurora PostgreSQL Product team.
My technical background includes extensive experience in Java, Rust, and JavaScript, along with hands-on work in C and TypeScript in recent years. Beyond engineering, I’m passionate about career growth, mentorship, and helping others navigate the software engineering journey.
Whether you're looking to refine your resume, prepare for your next technical interview, or land your dream role, I can help. I offer end-to-end guidance—from resume reviews to mock interviews—and provide insights into achieving your full potential, preparing for promotions, and managing the challenges of a career in tech.
I actively mentor software engineers and students pursuing careers in technology. Let’s work together to elevate your career to the next level.
