About Me

// who I am + what I've built

I'm a Lead Software Engineer with 6+ years of experience building scalable distributed systems and leading high-performing teams. I care deeply about code quality, developer experience, and shipping things that actually work.

Experience

Lead Software Engineer

Shipium

Aug 2025 — Present

Lead a team owning the core platform domain — a large surface area spanning external-facing APIs, customer-facing UI, internal tooling, and foundational internal systems. Drive architecture decisions, technical roadmap, and cross-team coordination while staying hands-on with delivery.

  • Spearheaded a new document generation product — shipped ahead of schedule with capabilities beyond initial MVP scope
  • Designed a carrier configuration architecture decoupling credentials and accounts, improving API ergonomics and extensibility
  • Re-architected a billing system using S3 pre-signed URLs and webhooks to support volume growth

Senior Software Engineer

Contributed across the core platform as a senior individual contributor, owning performance, reliability, and feature delivery across a system with broad reach — external APIs, customer and internal UIs, and core infrastructure.

  • Led a data and underlying service migration that decreased latency ~90% across all percentiles for 23 internal APIs with zero production disruption
  • Reduced core API latency ~50% across all percentiles, nearly halving service memory usage
  • Delivered a complex fulfillment feature on time despite rapidly changing late-stage requirements, coordinating across multiple teams
  • Led a carrier onboarding with extensive support for non-standard edge cases beyond typical integrations

Software Engineer

Built and shipped core platform features across carrier integrations, partner management, and billing.

  • Saved ~$60,000/year by migrating and pruning observability metrics infrastructure
  • Eliminated 6,000+ lines of code by introducing an abstract controller pattern for a partner management API
  • Halved deployment time by identifying and eliminating duplicate CI test runs
  • Delivered a configurable customer-facing API enabling self-service management of shipping options
  • Shipped a billing feature comprising ~8,000 lines of code across 3 weeks
  • Led a project enabling shipments to be initiated from any origin location via API

Software Engineer

Planned, led, and developed scalable microservices alongside a growing engineering team.

  • Led microservice projects extracting, transforming, and loading 60,000+ records
  • Defined epics and delivered two data transfer projects handling vendor and store data across 1,500+ records
  • Drove process improvements and iterated on shared libraries and infrastructure scripts across teams
  • Created 40+ pages of documentation across multiple projects and troubleshooting efforts

Software Engineer

Dynatrace

May 2020 — Nov 2021

Built and maintained software within a large-scale observability and application performance monitoring platform.

  • Delivered the first blue/green deployment pipeline solution for the platform
