Software Engineer | 4+ Yrs Exp | Cloud Solutions, AWS, Node.js, API Development

I am a forward-deployed software engineer with over 4 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performing solutions. My career has focused on developing backend systems, optimizing cloud architectures, and driving innovation within cybersecurity and government sectors. With a strong technical foundation in JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, and cloud technologies such as AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, CloudFront), I excel at building robust services that solve complex challenges and enhance user experiences.

Throughout my career at IBM, I have led critical projects that optimized system performance, improved cybersecurity infrastructure, and streamlined backend processes. One of my proudest achievements was reducing latency by 30% in a secure user provisioning system by designing efficient backend services on AWS. I also spearheaded the creation of dynamic infrastructure allocation using DynamoDB, which ensured efficient and secure resource distribution based on user roles—enhancing both productivity and security.

My expertise extends to designing and implementing secure authentication systems using OAuth2 and JWT tokens. This work strengthened identity protection measures and supported cybersecurity goals for high-stakes clients, ensuring secure access and compliance. I also significantly improved system responsiveness through database optimization and advanced caching strategies, resulting in a 20% improvement in API response times.

In addition to my technical contributions, I’ve collaborated cross-functionally with product managers, designers, and mobile engineers to deliver seamless, user-focused products. My leadership in testing and monitoring strategies helped reduce production issues by 80%, improving overall system uptime and ensuring reliability for clients in both cybersecurity and health sectors.

Beyond my core technical skills, I’m passionate about mentoring and team development, helping onboard and ramp up new team members while promoting best practices across teams. My background also includes early experience in full-stack development, where I developed user-friendly business websites and integrated practical features like Google Maps API, which significantly increased web traffic and profitability for clients.

I hold an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certification and am a Registered Scrum Master, both of which have strengthened my ability to manage and execute projects efficiently while adhering to agile methodologies.

As a quick learner with a passion for solving complex technical problems, I am excited to join a forward-thinking organization that values innovation, growth, and collaboration.
