I'm a Fullstack Engineer at Goldman Sachs in the NY Metro area, currently working in Global Banking & Markets Public on trading and markets-facing platforms.

I like building systems that sit close to real business workflows: fast UIs, reliable services, resilient data flows, and tools that traders, salespeople, and business users can actually depend on day to day.

• Current Role: Fullstack Engineer at Goldman Sachs
• Domain: Global Banking & Markets Public, trading platforms, capital markets workflows
• Focus Areas: Frontend performance, scalable platform design, backend services, infrastructure, and developer experience
• Location: NY Metro area
• Engineering Style: Pragmatic, performance-minded, product-aware, and always learning

I spend a lot of time building and optimizing rich user interfaces, especially data-heavy applications where responsiveness, correctness, and workflow design matter. That said, I do not see myself as “just a frontend engineer.” I have strong backend and infrastructure experience as well, and I enjoy working across the full stack when the problem calls for it.

I was originally raised around lower-level and backend-heavy programming with C, C++, and Java, and that background still shapes how I think about performance, reliability, and system design today.

My current work is centered around internal platforms used in financial markets environments, including:

• Building and maintaining trading and markets-facing applications
• Developing high-performance, data-intensive user interfaces
• Optimizing large grids, complex state flows, and real-time workflows
• Designing backend services that support business-critical platforms
• Working across frontend, backend, CI/CD, infrastructure, and cloud-adjacent systems
• Collaborating closely with business users to turn real-world workflows into reliable software

I enjoy problems where the frontend is not just a presentation layer, but a serious engineering surface: large datasets, fast updates, complex interactions, state synchronization, and workflows where performance directly affects usability.

• Trading platforms and capital markets technology
• High-performance frontend architecture
• React, state management, and large-scale UI systems
• Backend service design with Java, Python, and Go
• Infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and operational reliability
• Developer tooling and clean engineering practices
• Practical system design over over-engineered abstractions

• React
• Next.js
• HTMX
• TypeScript / JavaScript
• State management and complex UI architecture
• Performance optimization for data-heavy applications
• HTML, CSS, Tailwind, component systems

• Spring Boot
• FastAPI
• Go / Gin
• REST APIs
• Service-oriented architecture
• Data modeling and backend integration patterns

• TypeScript
• JavaScript
• Java
• Python
• Go
• C / C++
• SQL

• Git
• Docker
• AWS
• CI/CD pipelines
• Linux / WSL
• Build tooling and package ecosystems
• Observability and performance testing concepts

I like software that is useful, fast, and maintainable.

Good engineering, to me, means understanding the real workflow first, then choosing the simplest architecture that can support it reliably. Sometimes that means polishing a frontend interaction until it feels instant. Sometimes it means fixing backend data flow, improving deployment reliability, or simplifying an abstraction that got too clever.

I care about:

• Clear ownership
• Fast feedback loops
• Clean APIs
• Thoughtful UX
• Measurable performance
• Reliable systems
• Code that the next engineer can understand

I'm usually exploring new frameworks, building side projects, learning more about trading systems, or experimenting with tools that improve developer productivity.

Recently, I’ve been especially interested in:

• Modern React and frontend performance
• HTMX and server-driven UI patterns
• Go backends
• Python tooling
• Developer experience
• Finance and markets technology
• Practical AI-assisted engineering workflows

I'm always happy to connect with other engineers, builders, and people interested in markets technology, frontend performance, backend systems, or software engineering in general.

Whether you want to talk about trading platforms, React, Spring Boot, Go, system design, or just swap project ideas, feel free to reach out.
