Senior Software Engineer
Building reliable software. Owning delivery.
I’m a generalist software engineer who takes ownership from requirements and design through implementation, API integration, testing, and production support. At Citi, I deliver Rewards features, resolve production issues, and help teams ship reliable software.
Experience
8+ yrs
engineering and technical product delivery
Credentials
UIUC MCS
Master of Computer Science · 4.0 GPA
Selected Work
Product delivery, integration, and reliability
Recent engineering work at Citi, alongside earlier web development and team leadership at The Agency at UF.
Citi Mobile Rewards
Deliver rewards, benefits, and status-tracking experiences
Dual-platform ownership
Scope
Android and iOS delivery for rewards and benefits experiences, including reusable enrollment components, Benefits Hub updates, and a digital status tracker with API integration and customer-state handling.
What I do
- Implement production features in Kotlin and Swift.
- Guide design, code reviews, testing, and release readiness.
- Align API expectations with backend engineers and coordinate QA, product, design, and analytics partners.
- Support releases and production follow-through.
Engineering pattern
Use REST APIs, MVVM, reusable components, and feature flags to keep implementation consistent across mature mobile codebases.
Mobile Modernization & Reliability
Improve code quality without slowing product delivery
Quality + Reliability
Challenge
Modernize mature Android and iOS code while protecting release quality for a high-traffic consumer app.
What I changed
- Converted Java code to Kotlin and cleaned up legacy paths.
- Advanced MVVM adoption and reusable components; supported Rewards API migration testing.
- Expanded JUnit, MockK, and XCTest coverage.
Reliability
Resolve crashes and UAT defects, take ownership of late-stage issues, and coordinate emergency changes, testing, and approval when a release is at risk.
The Agency at UF · 2018–2020
Build web applications and lead client delivery
Web Development
Implementation
Built internal and client-facing web applications using React, PHP, and MongoDB on Linux.
Delivery
Led developers, translated stakeholder requirements into implementation tasks, and coordinated with creative and marketing teams.
Operations
Migrated applications from hosted infrastructure to on-premises servers, saving $500 per month.
How I Operate
Hands-on leadership from implementation through production
Launches
Connect design, implementation, testing, release readiness, and production support across engineering teams.
Reliability
Use test coverage, crash investigation, incident response, and disciplined change coordination to reduce release risk.
Maintainability
Use reusable components, feature flags, automation, and reviewed agentic coding to reduce repeat work.
Team Influence
Guide design and code reviews, mentor engineers moving into native mobile work, and interview candidates.
