About

I am a senior software engineer with 7+ years designing and operating large-scale distributed systems and internal platforms. At Mesh Connect I build an autonomous, LLM-orchestrated developer-productivity agent on Kubernetes, a config-driven wallet-connectivity platform, and partner-facing APIs and integrations for external B2B platforms. I own problems end to end, from architecture and design reviews through implementation, testing, deployment and incident response. I also lead design and code reviews, set engineering standards, and mentor and coach engineers.
