5+ teams led

From Enterprise Scale to Production Systems.

Starting at IBM, I worked across enterprise architecture, solution consulting, and public sector identity systems. Building microservices ecosystems with ~95% test coverage and leading technical roadmaps for institutional clients. That foundation in Domain-Driven Design and rigorous engineering carried over into everything since.

At Taiko Labs, I led the platform engineering team, shipping Trailblazers (700k+ active users, 6 seasons), a cross-platform transfer system (280k+ transactions, zero downtime), and a high-volume trading interface. Every system built on the same DDD principles that proved themselves at enterprise scale.

I specialize in distributed systems architecture, from backend services and API design to production frontends — building resilient, scalable platforms end-to-end.
