Summary

I am a Software Development Engineer with over five years of experience building scalable backend systems and distributed microservices. I currently work as an SDE III at Expedia Group, where I design and develop services for the Universal Messaging Platform that handle real-time notifications across multiple channels, including email, SMS, and push. My work focuses on improving reliability, scalability, and performance of high-volume messaging systems.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with Java, Kotlin, microservices, REST and gRPC APIs, and cloud technologies, particularly AWS. One of my key achievements includes re-architecting a reminder email service to improve performance and reliability, enabling it to handle significantly higher traffic with reduced latency and operational overhead. I have also contributed to system design, production support, and cross-team initiatives to improve platform stability.

Prior to my current role, I gained experience working on backend services, troubleshooting production issues, and delivering features end-to-end. I hold a Masters degree in Software Engineering from Arizona State University, which strengthened my foundation in distributed systems and software design.

Overall, my strengths lie in backend development, system design, and building scalable, reliable services that support high-impact, customer-facing platforms. I am particularly interested in roles that involve large-scale distributed systems, platform engineering, and backend architecture.

Expectations

Im looking for a role where I can work on technically challenging problems and contribute to building scalable, high-impact systems. Im particularly interested in backend or full-stack roles that involve distributed systems, cloud technologies, and strong engineering practices.

In my next position, Im looking for an environment that values ownership, collaboration, and continuous learning. I want to be part of a team where I can deepen my system design skills, work on meaningful projects, and continue growing as an engineer while contributing to products that have real customer impact.

I also value a supportive team culture, clear technical direction, and opportunities to take on more responsibility over time.
