Staff Software Engineer with 7 years building distributed systems for real-time data processing and enterprise platforms. Deep expertise in time-series data pipelines, fault-tolerant architecture, and complex system migrations with a proven track record of maintaining production systems at scale.

Professional Experience

Cleartrace

Staff Software Engineer Sept 2024 – Present

  • Transform ambiguous product requirements into actionable technical roadmaps for enterprise renewable energy certificate (REC) management systems
  • Led API v2 redesign introducing modern OpenAPI standards and supplier asset management, establishing foundational architecture for enterprise-scale certificate tracking
  • Partner with product teams to identify and derisk technical implementation challenges early in feature planning cycle
  • Establish engineering standards and mentor team through code reviews, pair programming, and architectural guidance

Senior Software Engineer Jan 2021 – Aug 2024

  • Architected real-time load matching engine processing energy market data across distributed Lambda functions, handling time-critical trading algorithms through iterative development and production hardening
  • Built comprehensive analytics platform (Dashboard v2) from ground up using TypeScript/Vue architecture, delivering customer-facing real-time energy data visualization
  • Led full application re-architecture, migrating from MongoDB to PostgreSQL/Rails stack, enabling enterprise multi-tenancy while reducing infrastructure complexity and improving query performance
  • Designed and executed data pipeline migration from distributed Lambda architecture to unified DBT/Snowflake system, consolidating time-series processing while maintaining zero downtime
  • Integrated enterprise SSO (Frontegg), replacing custom OAuth implementation to enable multi-tenant security compliance

Software Engineer Sept 2018 – Jan 2021

  • Built fault-tolerant time-series ingestion API processing sub-minute readings from 500+ renewable energy assets, maintaining 99.9% uptime across 5+ years of continuous operation
  • Established core platform APIs for energy data processing, customer management, and real-time market integration
  • Designed distributed processing pipeline using AWS Lambda and SQS for time-critical energy market data across multiple ISO regions, handling data consistency and temporal aggregation challenges
  • Built resilient full-stack solutions across microservices architecture, adapting to dynamic requirements in real-time energy trading environments
