He blends deep technical expertise in object-oriented and functional programming, design patterns, and cloud-native architectures with hands-on experience across backend, frontend, and DevOps. At Intuit he managed a 17-engineer, multi-team capability processing millions of transactions daily, pairing Kotlin/Spring Boot microservices with TypeScript/React frontends.
