Senior Manager / Senior Lead Software Engineer at Capital One
I am a senior software engineering leader with 15+ years of experience designing and delivering cloud-native financial technology platforms at enterprise scale. My work focuses on building secure, highly available, API-driven systems in regulated environments, with emphasis on open banking, data integrations, and digital platforms enabling secure data exchange and interoperability.
I specialize in cloud-first engineering using AWS and modern distributed architectures, with expertise across full-stack technologies including React, Angular, Node.js, RESTful APIs, and CI/CD pipelines. I lead end-to-end delivery from architecture and design through production deployment and operations.
In senior leadership roles, I define engineering standards, review and approve architectural decisions, and evaluate engineers across multiple teams. I have designed structured interview and assessment frameworks used to measure engineering excellence at scale.
I also oversee security, vulnerability remediation, and compliance readiness, ensuring high-impact systems meet stringent quality and risk standards. Beyond delivery, I mentor engineers, guide technical strategy, and contribute to hiring and talent evaluation, operating at the intersection of fintech, and large-scale platform engineering.
