Experience

  1. 2026 – now

    Cashea

    Software Engineer · Platform Team

    Building the internal platform that every Cashea vertical builds and ships on.

    • Standardized how services are created and shipped across all company verticals. Each team used to set up repos and deploys its own way; now a self-service repo platform creates every repo with CODEOWNERS, rulesets, branch policies and Cashea’s security compliance built in, on one clear path to production.
    • Created the golden path for container images: a builder/runtime pipeline that enforces distroless, non-root images verified against Google’s distroless base, with build tiers for Go, Node, Python and Rust.
    • Building self-service infrastructure on GCP: teams declare what they need in YAML (Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Redis, secrets, buckets) and get it provisioned, replacing the old ticket-and-wait flow.
