Senior Software Engineer — Capital One Composer — PianoShaman
I write software by day and music by night.
Either job is knowing which keys to press.
I build the streaming data platforms and AI tooling behind Capital One’s loss-mitigation systems — 1,000+ auto-loan accounts a second, and a remediation CLI that took a 30-minute job down to under five.
