Senior Software Engineer building data platforms and agentic developer tooling. Based in Jersey City, NJ.
I lead backend and platform work at Compass on systems that power lead generation, ML recommendation pipelines, and CRM integrations for 30,000+ real estate agents. Previously at WebMD, building consumer-health platforms and AI chat systems. Outside of work, I build open-source MCP servers and experiment with event-driven AI pipelines on Kubernetes and the latest platform innovations.
better-call-claude — MCP server giving Claude Code bi-directional voice, SMS, and WhatsApp communication, with cross-channel context sharing so a conversation can start on a phone call and continue over SMS or WhatsApp. Call Claude from your phone; get callbacks when it needs input.
forgeseal — Supply-chain security toolkit for JS/TS, Python, Go, Rust, and Java/Gradle projects. Generates CycloneDX SBOMs from 13 lockfile formats, signs with Sigstore (keyless), produces SLSA provenance attestations, and manages OpenVEX documents. Built for EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance.
auth-gateway — Serverless OAuth gateway on Cloudflare Workers with Convex, Better-Auth, and Hono middleware. KV-cached sessions cut service-onboarding time.
anyq — Universal message queue library with a single interface across Redis Streams, SQS/SNS, Pub/Sub, Kafka, RabbitMQ, NATS, and Azure Service Bus. TypeScript-first, with DLQ and circuit breaker built in.
dear-claude — Webhook-driven MCP integrations connecting Claude Code to GitHub, Linear, Jira, Notion, and Obsidian.
Compass — Senior Software Engineer (2023 to present), Software Engineer II (2021 to 2023). Built the data pipeline and database infrastructure behind Compass's Likely-to-Sell ML model, which has contributed over $150MM in incremental revenue since 2021. Delivered the Likely-to-Win model infrastructure; A/B tests showed a 39% lift in outreach on new recommendations and a 16% lift on re-ranked ones. Architected MCP-compliant APIs that integrate 100+ real-estate data sources into Compass CRM, processing millions of contacts. Leading an eight-engineer team across four time zones; work catalyzed $2M+ quarterly GCI. Received the Avengers team player award in 2022.
WebMD — Web Developer progression (2017 to 2021). Led 95% migration of legacy consumer frontend applications to the Helios platform. Shipped a healthcare AI voice assistant with a 72% answer-success rate and built the Mucinex chatbot, which generated a multi-million dollar advertising revenue stream on a $2 CPC model. Reduced backtesting framework runtime from 14 hours to 1 hour. Named Engineer of the Year (2018) and Upcoming Leader of the Year (2019). Oracle Certified Java Professional (scored 98%).
Platform side project: Watch And Learn (WAL) — Event-driven multi-agent video-to-markdown pipeline on Kubernetes with LangGraph orchestration. Ongoing sandbox for active-active multi-region IaC, policy-as-code, eBPF observability, and HPA/VPA autoscaling experimentation.
M.S. Software Engineering, New Jersey Institute of Technology. B.E. Computer Science, Shri Ramdeobaba College of Engineering.
