Overview

I've spent 6 years on payments infrastructure - first at UnitedHealth Group, now at Glade AI. Took payment success rates from 91.8% to 98.7%. Cut p99 latency on the payments platform services from 753ms to 81ms. Before that: Dell Technologies and UnitedHealth Group. Most at home with idempotency and CSS. Kannada theatre fan.
