About / 01

Systems that scale, stay secure, can be observed — and can be changed safely. Simple to state. Hard to do well. That’s the work.

I’m a lead software engineer who has spent more than a decade building and modernizing the kind of enterprise systems people depend on without ever seeing them — the ones that process insurance claims, run CRM for global companies and support government and healthcare programs.

At MetLife I own backend architecture, cloud infrastructure and data engineering for the claims-processing platform, and I led modernization for the Disability and Absence Insurance technology maturity platform. Before that, nearly seven years as a Principal Software Engineer at Oracle shipping Fusion CRM features, AI-driven recommendations and release automation.

I bring the same standard to the people I work with — through architectural guidance, code-review practices and mentoring — and I use AI tools like GitHub Copilot every day to build better software, faster.

Selected impact / 02

Hard problems, solved properly.

Six pieces of work, told as problem, approach and result. Details are limited to what can be shared publicly.

  1. MetLife Architecture
    Scale-out

    Horizontal scaling for high-volume claims workflows

    A claims platform rebuilt as containerized microservices.

    Challenge

    High-volume insurance claims workflows that needed more resiliency and room to grow.

    Approach

    Architected and deployed the claims-processing systems as Java Spring Boot microservices on Azure Kubernetes Service.

    Result

    Improved resiliency and horizontal scale across claims workflows.

  2. MetLife Security
    10+

    Downstream services under one access model

    Consistent, centrally governed access to every API.

    Challenge

    Consistent access control across the many services that consume the platform’s APIs.

    Approach

    Implemented OAuth 2.0 authentication flows and centralized API governance in Azure API Management.

    Result

    Reduced unauthorized-access exposure across 10+ downstream services.

  3. MetLife Performance
    80%+

    Query performance improvement

    Making a data-heavy platform feel fast again.

    Challenge

    Slow queries and response times in a data-heavy claims platform.

    Approach

    Rewrote and tuned SQL, optimized Oracle query plans and introduced Redis caching.

    Result

    80%+ query performance gains and lower average response times.

  4. MetLife Reliability
    ↓ MTTR

    Earlier detection, faster resolution

    One view of a platform that spans Azure and AWS.

    Challenge

    Seeing and resolving incidents across a platform running on two clouds.

    Approach

    Built end-to-end observability pipelines across Azure Monitor and AWS CloudWatch and enabled Azure–AWS integration.

    Result

    Proactive incident detection, lower MTTR and a multi-cloud setup that supports enterprise SLAs.

  5. Oracle Applied AI
    Smarter leads

    For Fortune 500 users of Oracle Fusion CRM

    Helping sales teams decide what to work on next.

    Challenge

    CRM users needed help deciding which leads to prioritize.

    Approach

    Introduced AI-driven recommendation and analytics features into Fusion CRM lead and decision workflows.

    Result

    Better lead prioritization, with higher engagement and sales conversion.

  6. Oracle Automation
    CRM · ERP · HCM

    Three cloud product lines, one release platform

    Taking the manual work out of shipping patches.

    Challenge

    Manual, overhead-heavy patch and change deployment across several cloud product lines.

    Approach

    Built an internal automation platform with predictive deployment logic and ML-backed Python regression testing.

    Result

    Removed manual release overhead and reduced regression risk across releases.
