I am a Software Engineer specializing in Distributed Systems, High-Frequency Event Processing, and Fintech Infrastructure with 5+ years of experience in building and mainataining well tested, high performance systems written with clean code.
I currently work at Trolley, building payment architectures that move millions of dollars. Previously, I engineered security systems at Arctic Wolf handling massive scale data ingestion.
- Scale: Architected systems maintaining 99.99% uptime while processing 1 Trillion weekly events.
- Optimization: Achieved a 53% speed improvement and 25% CPU reduction by re-engineering compression algorithms (moving from gzip to zstd).
- Leadership: Mentored teams to deliver critical releases and reduce support ticket resolution times by 1 week.
- Payments Architecture: Developing real-time data integration systems for 5 Million recipients using AWS Lambda and Webhooks.
- Systems Performance: Upgrading legacy compression pipelines and optimizing SQL queries to reduce latency by 200ms.
- Rust Exploration: Building Proof-of-Concepts (POCs) for agent diagnostic tools to ensure memory safety in critical infrastructure.
