Engineering Leader Building Scalable Cloud Platforms

Modernized a shared internal services proxy layer that wrapped AWS SDK v2 across a large, distributed microservice ecosystem. The existing implementation made it hard to reason about retries, error handling, and long-term maintainability as the platform scaled.

I designed and led the refactor to AWS SDK v3 while ensuring downstream microservices did not need to be rewritten. This included introducing a cleaner wrapper architecture, standardizing retry behavior with exponential backoff, and tightening error handling patterns so services behaved consistently under partial failure or rate-limited conditions.

The migration was rolled out incrementally to avoid production disruption, with careful coordination across teams and environments.

Led a mission-critical initiative to migrate payment tokens across integrated fintech providers (Stripe and Payrix) while preserving transactional integrity and avoiding customer impact.

The existing token landscape was fragmented and carried real risk: failed payments, inconsistent data across systems, and painful manual reconciliation. I worked across engineering and product stakeholders to design a migration plan, define phases, and ensure auditability and rollback were built in from day one.

I helped shape and oversee the implementation of automated reconciliation tooling, event-driven processes to track token and payment state, and monitoring to surface edge cases early. Throughout the rollout, I coordinated teams, validated results, and ensured we kept customer-facing impact at effectively zero.
