Senior Software Engineer at Norwegian Cruise Lines LTD

October 1, 2024 - Present

Led a multi-phase redesign of search and product discovery services, introducing fallback execution paths, retry strategies, and circuit protection that increased overall service availability by 15% under peak traffic conditions. Reworked core data models and indexing strategies to reduce data duplication and improve query locality, shrinking persistent storage from 68M to 9.5M records and doubling average query throughput. Established asynchronous backend integrations with enterprise finance and booking systems, automating invoice and transaction synchronization and eliminating manual operational workflows. Enhanced ranking and recommendation logic with feature-based segmentation and tuning, producing a 3% lift in conversion rate and reducing average click depth by 7 positions. Implemented structured monitoring, alerting, and service-level metrics to surface failures earlier and reduce MTTR during incidents. Coordinated closely with frontend engineers to deliver real-time search and c

Senior Software Engineer at Sarnova Digitech

June 1, 2022 - October 1, 2024

Designed and maintained backend services supporting portfolio management and transaction execution; built batch and near-real-time data pipelines to aggregate and validate multi-source transactional data, reducing end-to-end processing latency by 25% while preserving data consistency. Developed reporting and recommendation workflows enabling downstream teams to realize a 9% improvement in simulated ROI. Refined database schemas, indexing strategies, and caching layers to support analytical workloads with sub-200ms response times during peak usage. Introduced automated reconciliation and ETL processes with structured retry and error-handling logic, removing manual intervention and reducing operational overhead. Added detailed logging and metrics around data processing stages, improving traceability and simplifying production debugging. Worked closely with frontend engineers to expose analytics and reporting capabilities through internal dashboards used by finance and operations teams.
