I'm a Senior Software Engineer with 12+ years designing and delivering scalable, distributed systems and AI/ML platforms across cloud-native, enterprise SaaS, and data analytics domains, including fintech and IT services. I'm known for backend architecture, microservices design, and ML infrastructure, with a proven track record solving complex real-world problems at scale. In recent roles at ServiceNow and Intuit, I led core microservices, GenAI-driven automation, data pipelines, and model deployment on AWS, Docker/Kubernetes, and Terraform. I enjoy collaborating with product and ML teams to ship reliable, observable systems while advancing security and governance.
