=========================== Professional Experience ==========================

As a technical lead software engineer, I enjoy tackling large scale data challenges.

Designing distributed yet simple systems is something I am passionate about.
Constantly learning about new technologies, approaches and problem solving skills makes this always evolving field exciting.

I take pride mentoring juniors so that they see the value of shipping quality software, building clean architecture and reducing operational complexity.
