About
Software engineer with 5+ years building modern web apps and operating high-throughput, event-driven systems across revenue-critical billing and shared platforms. Delivered successful products and measurable gains in latency, throughput, and reliability while enabling launches and faster incident response. Founder background shipping customer-facing product end-to-end.
Experience
Software Engineer
Stripe
January 2025 - Present
Texas - Remote
Redesigned async billing pipeline (~1.5B events/day; >$1B fees/mo), cutting lag 95% (6h→20m) via service decoupling + queueing (Event Bus, SQS); improved billing freshness and incident recovery.
Refactored fee processing to remove protobuf coupling, cutting fee-calc latency ~250ms and sync/async drift; improved correctness and rollout safety.
Extended the fee reassessment pipeline for next-gen product primitives (v2), enabling launches for crypto balance, stablecoin payments, and agentic commerce while preserving billing correctness.
Drove billing platformization: standardized rollout/backfill patterns and reduced operational risk for launches and migrations.

August 2023 - January 2025
San Francisco, CA - Onsite
Architected a performant customer SPA using React, TypeScript, and Next.js, leveraging SSR and complex state management to deliver a seamless UI for orchestrating massive outreach campaigns.
Engineered a scalable, event-driven outbound email platform (Lambda, SQS, Postgres/Supabase) capable of delivering 1M+ personalized messages daily while maintaining high deliverability.
Shipped end-to-end product iterations (design → build → launch → monitor) with direct customer feedback; cut deployment time 50% via release automation.
Integrated GPT-4 and Claude by building dynamic, real-time React UIs to handle complex streaming data, driving a 40% increase in user satisfaction, scaling to $20K MRR, and securing $250K in funding.

Led the development of a centralized safety metrics platform that reduced complex data retrieval times by 80%, significantly accelerating time-sensitive investigations and improving agent SLAs.
Built shared platform services and internal gRPC/REST APIs used across brands to deliver cross-app initiatives (Trust & Safety, profile transfers), reducing duplicated effort and improving consistency.
Centralized cross-brand user data into DynamoDB, Redshift and S3, giving Safety Agents a consistent view to make faster enforcement decisions (ban/escalate) and improve response time.
Modernized internal tooling by shipping .NET 7 AOT for production AWS Lambdas, successfully cutting cold start times by 40% and delivering a more responsive experience for internal teams.
