What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles focused on cloud-native systems, scalable data platforms, and autonomous regional deployments with strong emphasis on mentorship, observability, and reliable CI/CD.

I am a detail-oriented staff software engineer with deep experience building cloud-native, cell-based distributed systems and data platforms for large-scale consumer services. I have led architecture and implementation efforts across backend services, data pipelines, and infrastructure to improve reliability and scalability.

At DoorDash I designed cell-aware data pipelines with Spark, Kafka, Airflow and Snowflake that improved data freshness by 70%, built multi-tenant order state machines in Go and Node.js to reduce cross-cell latency by over 40%, and drove CI/CD, Terraform, and AWS-based infrastructure to enable autonomous regional deployments. I also developed internal microfrontend tools with React and TypeScript to reduce operational burden during outages.

Previously at Databricks I optimized ETL at massive scale using Scala and Spark, contributed to multi-cloud provisioning automation with Terraform and Ansible, migrated CI to Bazel and Docker, and built platform services for telemetry and diagnostics. I mentor engineers, document architectures, and focus on observable, safe production systems.
