Senior Software Engineer

Engineered a high-performance real-time downstream classification solution using dynamic, session-scoped Elasticsearch indices. The approach reduced processing latency by approximately 80% by isolating classification queries to less than 1% of the total project dataset.

Developed and optimized scalable data enrichment pipelines for sentiment analysis, classification, categorization, and natural language processing, handling millions of documents per day while meeting availability and performance SLA requirements. Improved Analytics Service stability through Elasticsearch performance profiling and query decomposition.

Designed a blue/green Elasticsearch re-indexing strategy for consistent data migration, balanced shards, and zero-downtime index updates. Led migration of Discover Analytics and Discover Predictive services to Kubernetes and onboarded enrichment services to Spinnaker to improve scaling, deployments, and release cycles.

Served as the ML subject matter expert for the Data Enrichment team. Built and launched Smart Query and Topics Recommendations, collaborating with product teams and AI scientists on requirements, model selection, tuning, and production delivery.

Re-architected Remote Deposit Capture and Mobile Check Deposit capabilities by decomposing a monolithic service into independently scalable Eligibility, Remote Capture, and Remote Deposit services.

Led migration of the Remote Deposit Capture API to AWS while maintaining high availability for financial transactions. Designed and implemented a unified validation service used across Remote Deposit Capture services.

Contributed new API capabilities including Spanish-language support and product integrations. Improved engineering practices through documentation, code reviews, and mentorship.

Developed and integrated secure enterprise payment solutions supporting credit, debit, and gift card transactions.

Designed SOAP-based web services to enable secure communication between point-of-sale systems and payment platforms. Integrated POS systems with middleware applications including AJB and Tender Retail.

Coursework included Software Engineering, Mobile Device Programming, Database Management, Algorithms, Computer Security, and Enterprise Architecture.

Coursework included Distributed Systems, Machine Learning, Advanced Operating Systems, and High-Speed Networks.
