SENIOR FRONTEND ARCHITECT — SAN JOSE, CA

Twenty years architecting identity platforms, SDKs, and design-system-driven UI at PayPal, Cisco, eBay, and Oracle — used by millions of people every day.
Experience
PayPal
Sr. Staff Web Solution Architect, Identity
2022 — NOW

First to bring FedCM (browser-native federated identity) to PayPal, worth about +24 bps in total payment volume. Won the 2025 CTO Award for it.
Built the agentic-AI identity proof of concept on Model Context Protocol, plus an iframe-isolated embedded SDK requiring zero merchant code changes.
