- Improving reliability and performance of critical services through architectural and operational improvements
- Driving initiatives to simplify system design and reduce operational complexity
- Mentoring engineers and improving engineering practices across teams
Tech Lead
- Led & mentored a cross-functional team, collaborating closely with engineering, product, design, and marketing to develop scalable, multi-platform products.
- Architected & developed a scalable integration platform enabling sourcing partners to connect with the lending system, reducing partner onboarding from one month to a few days.
- Built a scalable data pipeline for tracking & analyzing events across platforms, cutting event tracking costs by 96%.
- Led development of a rule-based system that pushes in-app updates to Android devices in real time.
- Drove organization-wide adoption of distributed tracing, reducing mean time to identify production issues from 30 minutes to under 10 seconds.
Platform Engineer
- Designed & architected dockerized ELK for log aggregation.
- Designed & implemented an automated RabbitMQ cluster to improve messaging reliability.
- Delivered technical talks on Docker and Docker Compose best practices and integrated them into multiple applications.
- Built tools to measure IT performance metrics such as lead time to change, frequency of releases, change failure rate, and mean time to recovery.
- Developed a system for monitoring and tracking JIRA tasks and RCAs, reducing engineering time spent on incident management.
- Introduced teams to load testing best practices, improving system load capacity and performance.
Senior Software Engineer

Interests
When I’m not engineering software, I’m usually planning my next trip or getting lost in a good book, podcast, or audiobook. Lately, I’ve been fascinated by human behaviour, societies, and how we’ve evolved over time.
I’m also a big fan of sci-fi and comedy films and series, a good mix of futuristic imagination and light-hearted humor. A fair bit of my free time goes into keeping up with new developments in technology and web engineering, mostly driven by curiosity rather than necessity.
