Engineering director at MoneyLion, where I own architecture for the backend platform, auth, and fraud at a consumer fintech serving millions of users. Recent work includes confidential-data protection (PII tokenization, field-level encryption), org-wide architecture review, and standing up AI-assisted development with eval gates and shared knowledge bases. Previously scaled teams and platforms at Optimizely and NewsCred/Welcome through microservices migrations and platform modernization. I hire, set hiring guidelines, and develop senior ICs and managers; several reports have moved into leadership roles.
