2026 — Now
Fairview, Pennsylvania, United States
As a Staff Software Engineer at Raptive, I help shape the technical direction of AI-powered applications and the systems that support them at scale. I work across teams to guide architecture, drive complex initiatives, and improve engineering leverage while remaining hands-on in building distributed systems.
Define architecture and technical direction for AI-enabled application capabilities, including agent-based systems and retrieval-augmented workflows.
Lead cross-team initiatives spanning application development, platform concerns, and engineering productivity.
Improve team velocity through adoption of modern AI-assisted development workflows and engineering practices.
Mentor engineers and influence system design decisions to ensure scalable, maintainable solutions.
At Raptive, I serve as a tech lead driving the design and delivery of innovative applications that blend AI capabilities with core platform features. My work spans building autonomous agents, retrieval-augmented pipelines, and intelligent data systems while also leading development of large-scale, non-AI functionality that powers our applications end-to-end.
AI & Agents: Architect and implement AI agent frameworks leveraging LangChain, LangGraph, LangSmith, and vector databases, enabling advanced retrieval, observability, and evaluation capabilities.
Developer Productivity: Spearheaded engineering-wide adoption of tools like Cursor and Claude Code, leading trainings that reshaped workflows and significantly increased delivery speed.
Cloud & Infrastructure: Design and operate containerized, event-driven systems on EKS (Kubernetes + Helm) while integrating seamlessly with AWS services for scalability and resilience.
Leadership & Mentorship: Act as a tech lead and mentor, guiding engineers through projects from idea to rollout, partnering with stakeholders, and ensuring technical success across initiatives.
This role blends hands-on engineering with technical leadership, allowing me to deliver complex systems across both AI-driven and traditional application domains while elevating how my team leverages modern tools to solve real-world challenges.
2022 — 2023
At Veho, I focused on building and scaling cloud-native, event-driven systems leveraging the AWS serverless stack and microservices architecture. My work centered on designing resilient, distributed systems that supported high-growth logistics operations while ensuring scalability, performance, and developer velocity.
Cloud & Serverless: Designed and implemented services using AWS Lambda, AppSync, DynamoDB, S3, Cognito, and CloudWatch, delivering fault-tolerant and cost-effective solutions at scale.
Microservices Architecture: Built and maintained modular microservices that powered logistics workflows, ensuring high availability and seamless integration across the platform.
Data & APIs: Developed and optimized GraphQL APIs and data pipelines to handle real-time operational data, enabling faster decision-making and improved user experiences.
Collaboration & Delivery: Partnered closely with product managers and stakeholders to deliver features end-to-end, balancing business needs with technical scalability.
Engineering Growth: Contributed to engineering best practices and mentored peers in adopting serverless patterns, CI/CD workflows, and cloud-native development techniques.
This role solidified my expertise in event-driven serverless systems and laid the foundation for my transition into leading teams and incorporating AI-driven architectures in later roles.
2022 — 2022
Contributed to building and scaling AWS serverless microservices supporting logistics operations. After driving impact across several high-visibility projects, I was promoted to Senior Software Engineer within 9 months.
2021 — 2022
At Simplifyy, I contributed to the development of property management software solutions, working across the stack to deliver features that improved efficiency and user experience. This role strengthened my foundation in cloud services, modern web frameworks, and distributed systems, preparing me for larger-scale challenges at Veho and beyond.
Full-Stack Development: Built and maintained applications with TypeScript, React, Node.js/Express, GraphQL, and SQL, delivering responsive, user-friendly experiences.
Cloud & Infrastructure: Worked with Firebase, AWS, and GCP to design reliable cloud-backed services and deploy scalable features.
Collaboration & Delivery: Partnered with product and design teams to translate requirements into production-ready features, balancing speed with maintainability.
Problem-Solving: Contributed to debugging, refactoring, and optimizing workflows, ensuring stable and secure applications across environments.
This experience gave me broad exposure to end-to-end product engineering and strengthened my ability to adapt quickly to new tools and technologies.
