Full-Stack Engineer & Associate Technical LeadScalable, Cost-Optimized Cloud Platforms

Leading a full-stack squad — owning planning, estimation, code review and delivery while raising the engineering quality bar.

• Own platform reliability and observability — building real-time monitoring with AWS SQS failure-queue analysis, automated Slack alerts, and custom CloudWatch alarms to catch processing failures and delays instantly.
• Lead a full-stack engineering squad through task planning, technical discussions, code reviews, and feature delivery.
• Designed and implemented an event-tracking process that identified and resolved 500+ data-quality issues across the platform.
• Resolved critical AWS SQS processing issues for enterprise customers and optimized core event handlers to reduce dependency on costly third-party APIs.
• Reduced cloud costs by eliminating duplicate AWS Secrets Manager requests across 45 client environments.
• Improved platform security and stability by identifying and removing high-risk legacy scripts.
• Mentor engineers on system architecture, coding standards, and advanced Git workflows.

Led performance engineering and enterprise integrations end to end across React, Node.js and AWS.

• Fixed a major six-month-old performance bottleneck in the legacy system by redesigning the data- synchronization process — improving throughput 11x and reducing external API calls by 99%.
• Improved real-time synchronization speed in the Intercom integration by 3x, better supporting large enterprise customers.
• Built a complete AWS SES email infrastructure from scratch in three days, supporting 60,000 emails per run with zero failures.
• Drove end-to-end development of enterprise data integrations (Stripe, Mixpanel, Snowflake), using AI tooling to accelerate delivery by 3–4 days.
• Created reusable coding patterns and best practices adopted across the company, improving maintainability and data quality.
• Improved platform security by resolving critical issues from external security audits and completing internal security challenges.

Owned email deliverability and engagement features on a serverless AWS stack.

• Built an email analytics dashboard with user-engagement tracking and email-verification workflows to improve deliverability.
• Implemented one-click unsubscribe aligned with Gmail requirements, improving email reputation and delivery performance.
• Researched and developed the platform's bulk email verification to reduce email-reputation issues.
• Reduced infrastructure costs by migrating core services to AWS Lambda and moving event-handler templates to a serverless architecture.
• Managed production deployments and release processes — including release notes, documentation, and testing — to maintain software quality.
• Delivered technical KT sessions, supported teammates, and wrote thorough documentation to aid development and maintenance.

Designed and maintained microservices for new platform services.

• Designed and maintained backend microservices focused on scalability, reliability, and maintainability.
• Researched and built marketing email systems and improved project-management features to resolve issues in our existing Gmail-integrated service.
• Replaced repetitive QA work with Python and Jupyter Notebook test scripts for cases previously considered impossible to automate, saving the QA team significant time.
• Reviewed code and mentored teammates on coding standards and Git best practices.
