I am a Lead Software Engineer with over 12 years of experience architecting and scaling distributed, cloud-native systems. I currently lead engineering initiatives at Hopper, focusing on infrastructure, API development, and AI/ML integration within travel and fintech platforms. Previously, I contributed to large-scale backend systems at Amazon and Wayfair, where I worked on performance optimization, system design, and platform reliability. I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Science from Arizona State University and have developed deep technical expertise in cloud computing, modern web technologies, and AI-powered applications. I am passionate about sharing knowledge and growing developer communities—regularly participating as a hackathon judge, peer reviewer, and mentor to aspiring engineers. I also create educational content on my YouTube channel, Tech Career To The Moon: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgtroFf0_eHAu4bUjBYD27A, where I break down complex topics like generative AI, system design, and career growth strategies for software developers.
