From Monoliths to Agentic AI: 12 Years of Shipping at Scale I'm a Vice President at JPMorgan Chase with ~12 years of building systems that millions of people rely on daily. Delta Air Lines — Omnichannel Checkout (2M+ daily transactions), Production GenAI Agents with LangGraph, DynamoDB at sub-10ms latency. PayPal — Built paypal-status.com serving 400M+ active users. Apple — Backend for 500+ retail stores globally. I didn't just pivot toward AI — I shipped it in production. Multi-Agent Systems, RAG Pipelines with hallucination guardrails, and 45 open-source AI tools I built for myself. Google Cloud Agentic AI Hackathon Finalist. Why I'm on Topmate: I know how confusing the industry looks right now. "Should I learn Java or just Python/AI?" "Is the market dead?" "How do I get to Staff/Architect/VP level?" I've navigated every one of these transitions — from monoliths to microservices, from backend to full-stack, from traditional engineering to GenAI. I'll tell you exactly what I'd do in your position. No fluff, no motivation — just a clear plan. Whether you need a brutal resume review, a system design mock, or a roadmap to navigate this AI shift — book a call.
