01 · About

The engineer behind the work

I'm a software engineer with a foundation in Systems Engineering and a Master's in Information Systems Management. For over six years I designed and built mission-critical risk systems at PayPal, working across a 20+ microservice architecture that couldn't afford downtime.

Outside of engineering, I've spent over a decade leading youth communities, which shaped how I communicate, lead, and take ownership of outcomes. I bring that same care and integrity to every project I take on.

  • Worked with large-scale distributed data models — Cassandra, 10,000+ key-value pairs per record.

  • Resolved over a decade of accumulated technical debt in legacy payment systems.
