## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ Wurl
Jan 2023 – Present
- Designed and built distributed, event-driven backend systems supporting high-scale, latency-sensitive workloads in a production environment.
- Owned end-to-end development of fault-tolerant pipelines with explicit state management, automated recovery, and failure isolation.
- Developed deterministic, auditable data pipelines, emphasizing reproducibility, traceability, and system correctness.
- Built observability and monitoring tooling to detect anomalies, support incident response, and enable post-incident forensics across distributed services.
- Implemented data validation and integrity checks to prevent corrupted or malformed inputs from propagating through downstream systems.
- Collaborated cross-functionally with product, operations, and external stakeholders to deliver business-critical backend capabilities.
- Contributed to infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD automation, improving deployment reliability, security posture, and environment isolation.
