01 — About

Engineering that teaches, scales, and ships.

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with a growing focus on Developer Advocacy and Engineering Enablement. My career spans cloud-native architecture, event-driven microservices, and full-stack development — always with a mindset toward clarity and scale.

I've built payment platforms at Volkswagen Financial Services, orchestration systems at Capital One, and HR platforms at ContinuumCloud — shipping real products while creating the documentation, runbooks, and knowledge-sharing sessions that make teams go faster.

Lately, I'm deeply invested in AI-assisted development — leveraging GitHub Copilot, Claude, and OpenAI to amplify engineering throughput and promoting adoption across teams.
