What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build graph-native data solutions where I can lead technical delivery, solve complex relationship-driven problems, and help teams adopt graph technology through practical engineering and collaboration.

I've built graph-powered cybersecurity applications at Skill Quotient, using TigerGraph to map system-wide vulnerabilities and help security teams develop targeted remediation strategies. I optimize GSQL for real-time vulnerability scanning and work closely with management, frontend, and core security teams.

At Ernst & Young, I led graph practice proofs of concept for clients, translating operational challenges into graph solutions that improve data speed, performance, and decision-making. I specialize in TigerGraph while evaluating other graph frameworks to fit client needs.

Previously at Novigo Solutions, I led two TigerGraph logistics optimization projects that achieved over 70% cost reduction in operations and planning. I also founded the Graph Center of Excellence and mentored developers from relational database thinking toward graph-native modeling.

I'm a Google Certified Data Scientist and TigerGraph Community Leader who enjoys growing technical communities through meetups, workshops, hackathons, and practical graph technology adoption.
