Senior DevOps Engineer at Ada who cut onboarding from days to hours with an agentic bootstrap.

At Ada, I shipped an in-house data-deletion API that saved more than $300K annually in vendor licensing, and created an agentic bootstrap that cut onboarding from days to hours.

I’ve also upgraded Kubernetes and MongoDB environments, built Ada’s Azure production environment, and improved data-platform reliability with GDPR/CCPA erasure services and automated Airflow alerts.
