Professional Experience

Inspire Brands · Canton, MA

Jan 2022 – Present

Lead Software Engineer

Aug 2025 – Present

Conceived, designed, built, and operated an end-to-end automation platform. Responsible for architecture, engineering, cross-team coordination, stakeholder demos, QA, and production support.

  • Identified a gap in the enterprise loyalty workflow while engineering the original vendor integration and authoring the operational SOP that defined a 30-day offer lifecycle across a ~10-person team. Conceived, proposed, and solo-built the platform that automates it end-to-end, reducing cycle time to same-day turnaround and displacing over $1M in annual cost across headcount, manual workflows, and internal tooling
  • Architected a full-stack platform consolidating 13 enterprise systems into a single interface for offer creation, validation, smoke testing, and deployment. Supports 17 offer types across 85 configurable fields with dual-database persistence and real-time event streaming
  • Built a 3-layer intent classification architecture: pre-LLM regex resolution, thin GPT-4.1 classifier, and Pydantic schema validation. This eliminates LLM calls entirely for 40–60% of requests and reduces per-request token consumption from ~18,000 to ~1,000 for the remainder

Senior Software Engineer, Enterprise Applications

Aug 2022 – Aug 2025
  • Technical program lead for a multi-brand loyalty ecosystem spanning 3 national brands and 50MM+ members, processing millions of transactions daily.
  • Designed, owned, and approved integration architecture across 20+ internal and partner APIs, including POS, OMS, CRM, and third-party loyalty vendors.
  • Led full Offer Management System cutovers for Arby's and Sonic, enabling new loyalty features, improving rewards processing speed, and reducing ongoing vendor costs.
  • Coordinated large-scale programs involving 15–20 engineers (scaling to 40+ during peak phases) across engineering, product, QA, operations, vendors, and executive stakeholders over 6–12 month timelines.

Software Engineer, Enterprise Applications

Jan 2022 – Aug 2022
  • Executed the manual offer lifecycle as part of a ~10-person team coordinating offers across 3 national brands and multiple vendor integrations.
  • Authored operational SOPs and API integration documentation used by engineering and operations to standardize the loyalty offer workflow.
  • Worked across POS, OMS, and CRM vendor integrations, gaining the system-level understanding of the offer lifecycle that later drove the DFLO platform design.

Technical Project Manager (Contract)

May 2020 – Oct 2021

Trivedi Advanced Technologies · Southborough, MA

  • Managed 50+ concurrent B2B software projects for Fortune 500 clients, including legacy system upgrades and complex production troubleshooting.
  • Served as the technical bridge between clients and engineering teams, gathering requirements, coordinating delivery, and resolving integration blockers.
  • Introduced structured escalation and resolution workflows that improved delivery reliability for high-priority and time-sensitive client engagements.
  • Developed MVP mobile application features to validate a startup business model and accelerate early customer adoption.
  • Built an internal PCI-compliant payment processor using Stripe APIs, eliminating reliance on costly third-party payment solutions.
  • Deployed and maintained AWS EC2 infrastructure for development and production environments.
