Focus

Senior software engineer with 13+ years of experience designing, building, and scaling distributed systems, data pipelines, and SaaS platforms. Proven ability to deliver platform capabilities that enable multiple product stacks, modernize legacy systems, and drive measurable business outcomes including cost efficiencies, performance gains, observability, and telemetry. Strong background in platform development and large-scale distributed systems with leadership experience driving cross-functional initiatives and mentoring engineers.

I am currently expanding my expertise in data science and ML systems through the UC Berkeley Master of Information and Data Science program, with additional focus on large-scale data processing, analytics, and applied machine learning. I am particularly interested in roles at the intersection of software, cloud services, data, and machine intelligence.
