Staff Software Engineer with 14+ years building backend systems, payments infrastructure, and AI-powered products across FinTech, Real Estate, Automotive, and Home Services.
I've spent my career making complex systems reliable at scale — from fixing $1M payout bugs at Angi to building fault-tolerant transaction pipelines at Franklin Templeton to shipping an LLM-powered real estate chatbot at PropKhoj. I care about systems that are correct, auditable, and fast.
Currently at Franklin Templeton, engineering cloud-native financial services for digital assets and trust funds. On the side, I build AI tools with Claude and contribute to the community (3,000+ Stack Overflow reputation, 9 gold badges).
I also have a background in neuroscience research — co-authored 3 publications on high-speed fMRI imaging at the University of New Mexico.
- Payments & Financial Systems — transaction processing, reconciliation, payout accuracy
- AI/ML Products — RAG pipelines, LLM integrations, agentic workflows with Claude

When I'm not engineering systems, you'll find me painting portraits, on the tennis court, or driving my Mustang on Bay Area back roads.
I build systems that move money, power AI, and never go down.
