Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience building scalable, high-performance web and mobile applications, with a backend-heavy full stack focus. I currently work at Expedia Group, where I design and ship large-scale distributed systems that serve millions of travelers. I enjoy turning complex problems into simple, reliable systems and I care about measurable impact, from improving user experience and conversion to driving down cloud costs and engineering effort. Earlier in my career, I spent almost three years at Samsung Research Institute building telephony and connectivity software for mobile devices. I'm passionate about backend architecture, mentoring engineers and using AI-assisted tooling to build faster.
