  1. Apollo

    Senior Fullstack Engineer

    Apollo Jan 2024 – Present
    Building scalable, observable CRM integrations at Apollo. Architected selective sync and Grafana-based monitoring to support millions of records daily.

    Currently focused on building and maintaining large-scale CRM integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot, Greenhouse, and more) that handle millions of records daily. I joined Apollo as a founding member of the Internal Tooling team—originally scoped for broader platform enablement—but over time, my work has shifted toward integration systems where scale, reliability, and observability are critical. While I operate as an individual contributor today, I’ve previously led engineering teams and continue to bring that mindset to the way I collaborate, design systems, and support cross-functional goals. - Architected selective sync pipelines to reduce unnecessary data pulls from Salesforce, cutting sync load by ~40% and giving RevOps more control over update flows. - Designed and maintained Grafana dashboards to surface metrics like PushDurationInMs, helping engineers debug integration issues faster. - Contributed to internal debugging tools and maintenance workflows that improve team efficiency and reduce support load. - Drove conversations and designs around scaling, fault tolerance, and cost optimization across CRM integrations.

  2. SaaS Labs

    Senior Lead Software Engineer

    SaaS Labs May 2023 – Oct 2023
    Led the V2 architecture and team behind JustCall’s dialer experience. Delivered UI/UX, backend, and deployment improvements in a remote-first setup.

    Led a team of 4 engineers to design and build a modern dialer experience from scratch for sales and support agents using JustCall, the company’s flagship communication platform. Though my time at SaaS Labs was brief due to a company-wide shift from remote to in-office work, the experience was deeply rewarding—I had full ownership from tech design to team coordination, and helped shape a product that impacted thousands of users daily. - Designed and delivered a new dialer UI/UX and backend from the ground up, optimized for speed, reliability, and agent workflows - Collaborated closely with product and design to iterate on feedback loops in real-time - Set up engineering practices for code quality, async communication, and faster deploy cycles in a remote-first team - Mentored junior team members on system design, async communication, and code review culture

  3. Gradguide

    Technical Lead

    Gradguide Dec 2021 – May 2023
    Scaled Gradguide from MVP to acquisition. Led engineering team and platform redesign from Firebase to a robust, cloud-native stack.

    Joined Gradguide at its inception stage—when it was little more than an MVP built on Firebase with no native backend—and helped scale it into a production-grade platform that was eventually acquired by Native. Brought on through a recommendation by Terry Clune (Founder of TaxbackInternational and primary investor), I took on full-stack ownership across infrastructure, system design, and execution, while also leading a team of 3 engineers (2 junior, 1 senior). - Led platform re-architecture from Firebase to a scalable service-based backend to meet production demands - Built and deployed live teaching, video, and chat features across both web and mobile platforms - Managed infrastructure, CI/CD, and cloud provisioning to support dynamic traffic scaling - Directed engineering priorities and team execution end-to-end during a fast-paced growth phase - Played a critical role in the successful acquisition of Gradguide by Native
