Software Engineer (Java / Node.js / TypeScript) focused on distributed systems, low-latency services, and production reliability.
I have shipped across the stack Spring Boot + AWS EKS, Kafka event pipelines, Node.js + Next.js, and observability (Prometheus/Grafana/OpenTelemetry) with a bias for clear metrics, safe rollouts, and operational rigor.
At Centiro (global logistics SaaS):
- Scaled Spring Boot services to 22K RPS and kept tail latency stable with caching, load testing, and SLO-driven tuning.
- Standardized Kafka schemas and CI compatibility gates for 1.8B events/day, improving safety across multiple teams.
- Modernized frontend delivery with React 18 and a shared component system to reduce cycle time across teams.
At jambonz / FirstFive8 (Voice AI infrastructure):
- Built SIP-to-LLM voice flows serving 1.2M sessions/month with strict latency budgets and reliability guardrails.
- Production-first engineering: measurable performance, clear SLOs, and failure-mode thinking
- Operational excellence: observability, runbooks, and rollout safety (canary + fast rollback)
- Pragmatic design: readable systems, consistent APIs, and maintainable abstractions
- Collaboration: design reviews, cross-team alignment, and shipping iteratively
- Distributed systems patterns (queues, streaming, backpressure, schema evolution)
- RAG systems in production (evals, latency control, vector search tradeoffs)
- Kubernetes reliability (autoscaling, rollout strategies, cost/perf tuning)
- Languages: Java, TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Go
- Backend: Spring Boot, Node.js, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis, REST, gRPC
- Frontend: React, Next.js, Tailwind.css
- Cloud / DevOps: AWS (EKS, EC2, CloudWatch), Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD
- Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry
- ML / GenAI: RAG, pgvector/HNSW, evaluation harnesses (golden sets)
- 🥇 1st place, TADHack ($2K): built a Node.js pipeline for PII-safe redaction of call logs (40+ U.S. teams)
- 🏆 DevCon Hackathon (team lead): shipped real-time speech translation with sub-1s latency
- 🌐 Open source: contributions to jambonz (reliability + CI hardening)
