I implemented automated monitoring and incident response processes, developed AI-powered APIs to improve data accuracy, and introduced CI/CD health gates that reduced deployment failures by 20% across distributed services.At HP Inc, I delivered full-stack cloud applications using Angular, Spring Boot, MongoDB, and AWS, improving query performance by 80% and lowering operational costs through remote software update automation across thousands of enterprise devices.My focus is on backend engineering, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure, with experience spanning fast-moving startup teams and complex enterprise environments.Outside of engineering, I’m an avid traveler and lifelong learner.
