Software Engineer at Gemini, building distributed backend systems at the intersection of crypto infrastructure and financial compliance. I care about ownership. When I ship something, I think about correctness, reliability, and what happens when it breaks at 2am. I thrive in high-autonomy environments where I can take problems end-to-end, from system design to production, and work closely with cross-functional teams to get it right. My work spans real-time transaction pipelines, blockchain API integrations, and SOX-compliant infrastructure serving millions of users. I've built and operated production systems across the full backend stack — Scala, Go, Java, Python, Kafka, Kubernetes, AWS, gRPC, with a focus on scalability, resilience, and correctness. Based in New York. Open to conversations about backend engineering, fintech, and crypto infrastructure
Building backend infrastructure for real-time risk decisioning at Gemini, serving 13M+ users across a crypto exchange processing billions in daily volume. Working on the Risk Engineering team across Kafka-based transaction event pipelines, AML/KYC compliance systems, and SOX-compliant document infrastructure, using Scala, Protobuf, AWS, and Datadog
Built security and risk tooling for Gemini's crypto exchange during a summer internship on the Risk Engineering team. Developed a real-time ATO log monitoring tool in Scala analyzing millions of user events for anomalies; adopted by the Trust & Security team to accelerate incident response by 30% Built an on-chain wallet verification system enabling users to access decentralized apps with pre-verified identities, recognized internally for advancing Web3 security Built a Credit Card Operations dashboard (Next.js, Scala, PostgreSQL) for real-time fraud visibility across 20+ internal stakeholders
Course: 95807 - Object Oriented Programming for Managers
Drove enterprise digital transformation through custom integration solutions. Built Java connector for Ansys STK simulation software, reducing integration time by 60% for Fortune 500 aerospace clients. Developed Siemens Teamcenter PLM connectors that cut manual data mapping by 70%. Ensured reliability through comprehensive JUnit testing and DevOps integration. Impact: Accelerated engineering workflows, eliminated manual bottlenecks for enterprise clients
Built an automated security tool for internal teams. Created Spring Boot vulnerability scanner parsing 200+ plugin dependencies, generating daily security reports. Integrated tool into existing DevSecOps workflows, enabling early detection of critical vulnerabilities before production deployment. Impact: Automated security workflows, established security-first development culture
