About me

I am a software engineer with over a year and a half of hands-on experience across open-source and startup environments. I worked for several months as an open-source contributor before joining a developer tools startup, where I worked on backend features, integrations, testing, and observability tooling.

After a health and family-related career break, I am now actively returning to professional software development, rebuilding momentum through hands-on practice and projects. I enjoy working on practical problems, improving reliability through testing, and building integrations that help systems work together.

Experience

  • Software Engineer I at Artillery, Remote

    2023 - 2024

    Completed a one-year Software Engineer I internship working on working on Artillery’s OSS and Cloud dashboard.

    • Redesigned and expanded Artillery’s telemetry pipeline, enhancing existing and building new integrations with major observability platforms (Datadog, Dynatrace, CloudWatch, etc.), implementing the OpenTelemetry (OTel) SDK internally to enable vendor-agnostic metrics and trace export, and introducing smart sampling option to export error and outlier spans.

    • Integrated tracing into Artillery’s Playwright engine, enabling page-level metrics and step-based user journey visibility for browser testing.

    • Improved code quality and delivery reliability by writing automated tests for plugins and integrations, fixing bugs across core and plugin codebases, and creating custom GitHub Actions to streamline testing and release workflows.

    • Implemented improvements to Artillery’s web dashboard for configuring tests and visualizing results, enhancing the platform’s frontend user experience.

    • Facilitated user adoption: wrote new documentation and blog posts, created short tutorial videos, and collaborated with users and external teams to support integrations and gather feedback.

    • Collaborated via GitHub pull requests, code reviews, and issue tracking in a fully remote team.

  • Open Source Contributor, Artillery Ecosystem, Remote

    2022 - 2023

    • Contributed steadily to Artillery’s open-source codebase for ~7 months prior to being hired, with improvements merged in nearly every release.

    • Worked on features, debugging, and testing-related improvements.

    • Implemented early plugin integrations (e.g. initial New Relic and Splunk reporters) that expanded the platform’s capabilities and laid the foundation for future enhancements.

    • Collaborated with maintainers through GitHub issues, pull requests, and code review discussions.

    • Gained experience working with existing production codebases and contributor workflows.

Projects and ongoing work

  • Personal backend projects in Node.js focused on APIs, integrations, and testing.

  • Small observability demos using OpenTelemetry.

  • Playwright-based automation and metrics collection experiments.

  • Open-source exploration and contributions.

Career break

2025

Career break due to health and family responsibilities. During this period, I continued self-directed learning and am now actively returning to professional software development.
