Designed and built Stripe’s next-gen REST & GraphQL to gRPC API gateway in Java. I proposed the detailed original design and implemented most of the initial code before up-skilling the rest of my team on the project. This greenfield project took up most of the two years I was at Stripe and was successfully delivered to production.

Collaborated with docs, SDK, and webhooks teams to deliver an end-to-end developer experience based on declarative protobuf-based IDL which I designed.

Supported and maintained Stripe’s world-class API frameworks in Java and Ruby.

Built developer tooling for APIs using Protobuf and Bazel.

Worked on OpenCensus, an open source library for instrumenting services for metrics and distributed traces. I led the development of the OpenCensus Go library and participated in cross-language API design. The library is used by Go GCP client libraries, the Istio service mesh, and the GoCloud project among others to provide out-of-the-box instrumentation. The project was later merged with OpenTracing and is now called OpenTelementry.

Member of the team that developed the original version of CloudKit, the backend behind many iCloud offerings including iCloud Backup, Drive, Photo Library and Apple News.

Responsible for design, development, performance testing and evolution of the system to support new use cases and increased adoption. Served as technical lead on several of these projects and managed a team of 5 engineers.
