About Me

I am a Senior System Engineer at South Street Securities with 4+ years of experience building cloud-native applications, developer tools, and GenAI-augmented workflows. I work daily with GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and Llama to accelerate development across Java, Python, and JavaScript applications.

My focus is on improving developer experience, whether it is provisioning local development environments that reduce onboarding time by 50%, or building high-performance systems that handle millions in transactions with 99.9% uptime.
