  1. Software Engineer · Capital One

    Current Aug 2023 – Present

    McLean, VA

    • Built Recadero, a Go CLI adopted by 5 production services across 7 repositories to generate required event contracts, cutting boilerplate 38–97% and eliminating QA/PROD schema drift.
    • Built a billing-cycle management action for the credit card processing core, covering request handling, ledger updates, and outbound events, with functional and integration tests.
    • Designed event-driven card transaction processing with Go, Restate, Lambda, and Kafka, with 15-minute recovery time and recovery point objectives, idempotent processing, and active-active deployment.
    • Built preapproval and eligibility flows for a small-business credit card platform serving millions of applicants, contributing to $60M in annualized value and an 18% conversion lift.
    • Created crumb, a Go CLI and Claude Code skill that connects Jira, GitHub, git history, and repository search to link requirements with their implementation and tests.
    • Shipped automated code-review and Jira-workflow tools that recovered approximately 140 engineering hours annually across a five-engineer team.
