About

Backend thinking with product context.

I am a Software Engineer focused on backend systems, API design, and enterprise integrations. At Verint and Digit Insurance, I have worked on Java and Spring Boot services where correctness, clear boundaries, and dependable delivery matter.

Alongside professional work, I am building CloudCampus, a multi-tenant school operations platform. That work keeps me close to product decisions, tenant isolation, access control, data modeling, and deployment concerns. I enjoy making complicated workflows easier to reason about and safer to extend.
