A backend-leaning full-stack engineer who ships products end-to-end — from Go services and access-control systems to React frontends. Currently SWE2 at Okta — intern to SWE2 in a year.
I'm a software engineer on Okta's Workflows (Flow Builder) platform. I joined as an intern, converted to full-time, and made SWE2 within a year — six months from SWE1 to SWE2.
My toolkit skews backend-heavy — Go is my daily driver — but I'm comfortable across the full stack. I've shipped gRPC access-control systems, batch ETL pipelines, React frontends, and Android tooling.
I like owning things end-to-end: the API, the data model, the interface, the deploy.
Implemented Bulk Delete on the Bulk Actions roadmap, letting customers manage and clean up workflows at scale instead of one at a time.
Shipped Folder Search end-to-end, helping customers find workflows fast across large, deeply-nested accounts.
Designed and shipped a rate limiter in the Workflows backend that measurably reduced abuse-related incidents on the platform.
Built banking access-control APIs in Go + gRPC and an extensible attribute-based access-control (ABAC) system at scale with Warrant. Introduced CI/CD that cut defects on master.
Built internal Android tooling in Kotlin that improved employee efficiency by over 500%, plus a full PHP→React consumer rewrite.
