WORK EXPERIENCE

Disney Streaming San Francisco, CA
Senior Software Engineer
February 2022 June 2026

Designed and developed Java/Spring Boot REST microservices responsible for subscription eligibility, offers, bundles, and checkout decisions supporting more than 100 million Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ subscribers.
Developed and maintained eligibility rules supporting billing partners including Verizon, HBO Max, NFL+, and TVING, along with eligibility scenarios across numerous device platforms.
Designed backend business logic evaluating subscription history, customer eligibility, promotional offers, device capabilities, billing relationships, and bundle configurations.
Authored the technical design specification for Korea's first three-way Disney+ / TVING / Wavve streaming bundle, covering offer configuration, eligibility logic, service integrations, and orchestration-layer changes.
Worked with multiple engineering teams to coordinate implementation, integration testing, production readiness, and rollout of the multi-partner streaming bundle.
Identified and resolved a long-standing free-trial revenue leakage issue with an estimated multi-million-dollar annual financial impact by implementing subscription-history validation with a 12-month lookback.
Designed the revenue-protection solution with graceful degradation and targeted evaluation logic to protect availability on the critical checkout path.
Standardized Resilience4j retry and circuit-breaker implementations across seven external service clients, replacing inconsistent downstream failure-handling patterns.
Improved service resilience by establishing consistent retry policies, circuit-breaker behavior, and failure-handling patterns across critical dependencies.
Implemented per-request feature-flag overrides and mock campaign injection across three eligibility services, allowing QA and development teams to test gated functionality without globally modifying production configuration.
Developed an AI-assisted testing workflow that applied established engineering review standards across more than 200 test files.
Increased unit-test coverage across eligibility and cohort services to 90%+, improving automated validation of critical business rules.
Collaborated with QA, product, and engineering teams to identify testing gaps and expand automated coverage for complex eligibility and promotional scenarios.

Distributed Configuration Platform
Served as a founding engineer for a greenfield distributed runtime configuration platform supporting the streaming offer and pricing ecosystem.
Designed and implemented the platform using Java, gRPC, Scala, DynamoDB, AWS, and in-memory client caching.
Owned the complete technical lifecycle including API design, system architecture, implementation, integration, testing, deployment, monitoring, and production support.
Designed a multi-region architecture supporting seven or more consumer services across five AWS regions.
Implemented in-memory client caching that enabled sub-millisecond configuration access for downstream consumers.
Built the platform for high availability and operational resilience, maintaining zero incidents over three years attributable to the configuration service.
Validated system resilience through chaos testing and failure-injection scenarios covering service and dependency failures.
Migrated runtime configuration storage from file-based configuration to Amazon DynamoDB using a controlled shadow-read approach.
Implemented a two-feature-flag migration strategy that enabled production parity validation between the legacy and DynamoDB-backed configuration systems before final cutover.
Investigated a critical production incident involving an unbounded thread leak in the Scala management service that caused post-deployment unresponsiveness and prevented configuration authoring.
Used Datadog APM runtime profiling to trace the issue to an implementation defect involving def versus val in the Datadog metrics client.
Identified that the defect created a new thread-owning metrics client for each metrics emission and implemented the corrective change to restore stable runtime behavior.
Participated in on-call rotations, production incident response, root-cause analysis, remediation, and preventive engineering improvements.

Cisco Systems, Inc. San Jose, CA
Senior Software Engineer

Built software supporting environments with 1,000+ tenants and hybrid/multi-cloud deployments spanning AWS and Azure.
Developed application-aware network policy orchestration capabilities that translated centralized policy intent into configurations across multiple data-center fabrics.
Designed and implemented the CloudSec key distribution service using Scala and Akka as a stateless relay between fabric controllers.
Developed secure cryptographic key distribution capabilities supporting inter-site encryption across ACI Multi-Site environments.
Owned the system architecture, technical design, implementation, integration, troubleshooting, and enhancement of the CloudSec service.
Coordinated implementation activities across engineering teams and provided technical direction to two engineers during the initial CloudSec development.
Designed and implemented a make-before-break key rotation protocol that maintained safe behavior during control-plane disruptions.

Integrated synchronized health information into the NDO dashboard and policy editor, simplifying troubleshooting across distributed network fabrics.
Designed and developed the Consistency Verification checker to automatically detect configuration drift between interconnected fabrics.
Implemented validation for cross-site identifier mismatches between centralized NDO policy intent and actual fabric programming.
Replaced manual cross-fabric configuration auditing with automated consistency verification and actionable discrepancy detection.
Participated in architecture reviews, technical design discussions, code reviews, release planning, production troubleshooting, and post-release support.
Collaborated with product management, QA, networking, infrastructure, and engineering teams throughout multiple major product releases.
Conducted technical interviews for 15+ engineering candidates over three years and provided technical assessments and hiring recommendations.
