Building backend, platform,
automation, and data systems that scale.
Five years across Fynd, AWS, the University of Texas at Dallas, and Cognizant — building backend services, automation tooling, identity platforms, real-time pipelines, analytics systems, and migration workflows that improved reliability, speed, and business outcomes.
Outcomes that moved the needle.
What I bring to systems.
Systems Thinking
I look beyond the feature. I think about how a service degrades, recovers, and evolves — designing for failure modes, observability, and long-term maintainability from day one.
Outcome-Driven
Every project I ship comes with measurable outcomes — ROI uplift, cost reduction, latency cuts. I align technical decisions with business KPIs and stakeholder context.
End-to-End Ownership
From design docs and prototyping to production rollout and on-call, I own the full lifecycle. I work fluently across backend, data, and infrastructure layers.

GCP to RHOS Migration
Led the migration of CDP infrastructure from Google Cloud to in-house Red Hat OpenShift, delivering cost savings while strengthening data sovereignty and privacy posture.
Cohort and NPS Analytics Dashboard
Built a unified analytics platform for cohort segmentation and NPS tracking, enabling real-time campaign insights and faster decision-making across product and marketing teams.
