What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can modernize enterprise data and platform systems end to end, lead reliable orchestration and API development, and apply practical AI automation—working closely with product and engineering teams in Agile environments.

I’m a Computer Scientist II with 18+ years of experience building and running enterprise systems across finance, e-commerce, and SaaS. I bring a strong foundation in cloud and large-scale distributed systems, with hands-on depth in data engineering, backend APIs, and platform design.

At Adobe, I led the design and build of a metadata-driven Data Activation Platform (ADX) for workflow orchestration, data ingestion, and activation across enterprise systems. I integrated Apache Airflow with Databricks for scheduling, execution, monitoring, and governance, and I migrated key workloads to Databricks Serverless after reviewing performance and cost trade-offs.

I also delivered AI-driven automation by building a multi-agent system (JiraFlowAgent + Orchestra) using the Claude API to transform free-text requests into structured Jira tickets. Beyond core platforms, I built APIs and backend services for a centralized B2B account management platform, created SnapLogic ETL pipelines, and supported data-driven decisions with system health dashboards—while mentoring junior engineers and promoting Agile best practices.
