About

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with over 9 years architecting enterprise-scale cloud-native applications, specializing in the SAP ecosystem — Concur, SuccessFactors, and S/4HANA.

As a certified SAP BTP Solution Architect, I bridge complex enterprise requirements with elegant technical solutions. My expertise spans event-driven architectures, microservices design, CI/CD automation, and full-stack Java development on cloud infrastructure.

Currently pursuing my MS in Computer Science at Georgia Tech (Jan 2026, OMSCS) while deepening expertise in AI and cloud-native systems. I bring a rare combination of deep SAP enterprise knowledge and modern cloud engineering agility — allowing me to deliver solutions that are both technically rigorous and business-aligned.

Beyond code, I'm passionate about building inclusive engineering cultures, mentoring junior developers, and continuous learning in AI/ML applied to enterprise systems.
