About Me

15+ years building and running production systems across banking, telecom, and travel. I work as a technical lead who ships code and coordinates delivery with distributed stakeholders across the US, India, and Australia. My core stack is the one European teams actually hire for — .NET, Go, TypeScript, Python, Node, and React — on AWS (Certified), built around microservices, CI/CD, and centralized identity (JWT / SSO).

Recent work has centered on high-scale, high-trust environments: operating a portfolio of 500+ production microservices at JP Morgan Chase, leading backend and frontend teams at Sinch, and driving the cloud-native modernization of legacy systems at Peregrine Global.

I move comfortably between hands-on implementation and platform-level decisions — shaping APIs, standardizing deployment pipelines, unifying authentication, and keeping complex production environments reliable. Quantified impact includes improving customer-facing web performance from 6 to 80 on the ACRA e-commerce platform, standardizing CI/CD and JWT/SSO across 8+ repositories, and integrating AWS services (S3, MediaConvert, Rekognition) into a centralized client and identity data platform.

Innovation, to me, is not about chasing every new framework. It is about applying the right tools with discipline to solve real problems — adapting the stack to the problem instead of forcing the problem to fit the stack. That mindset carries into my work with cloud systems, automation, and AI orchestration, where I use tools like Claude Code and OpenAI Codex to streamline delivery and reduce operational drag.

Selected products: alongside client work I build product-minded civic and mapping tools — Naval Connect (LGU app, live on iOS and Android with native maps and push notifications), Spain Connect (civic platform with maps, dynamic forms, and AI-assisted alerts and citizen Q&A), and LOKIERP (ERP for schools, services, and transport). Civic + maps + AI assist, shipped end to end.
