Led engineering initiatives across Ruby on Rails and Go microservices, contributing 200+ merged PRs and 100+ Jira tickets across multiple production repositories. Architected and delivered a Coaching Score dashboard that aggregates driver-coaching events using rolling windows, including an AWS SQS/Shoryuken three-tier fan-out pipeline with idempotent upserts, timezone-aware batching, and bounded retries. Improved production web/mobile endpoint latency and reliability by routing analytical reads to PostgreSQL read replicas, adding partitioning, removing N+1 queries, and replacing per-row lookups with set-based array binds. Designed REST (Grape) and added RPC endpoints with RBAC, audit trails, and caching, and owned multi-region rollouts across US/EU/Canada using Terraform/Helm, HPA autoscaling, Datadog queue monitoring, and feature-flagged company-by-company releases.

February 1, 2022 - June 30, 2025
Improved P99 API latency and reduced page load time by 80% through response caching, targeted database indexing, N+1 query elimination, asset minification, and asynchronous conversion of blocking calls. Led deprecation of a legacy monolith in favor of microservices and migrated on-prem services to the cloud with CPU/memory right-sizing to reduce infrastructure costs. Translated stakeholder requirements into technical user stories and mentored junior engineers through regular code reviews and design guidance.
