What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build secure, scalable AI products and distributed systems where agentic workflows, retrieval, real-time infrastructure, and thoughtful user experiences drive meaningful operational outcomes.

I've built production AI, payments, fraud, and workforce platforms at Deel, Rogo, Stripe, and Socure. At Deel, I own distributed agent-state pipelines and retrieval architecture supporting hiring, compliance, and tax workflows across 150+ countries.

At Rogo, I designed secure agentic AI infrastructure for investment banking and private equity, combining auditable RAG, financial-data connectors, multi-agent Python pipelines, and MNPI protections. Previously at Stripe, I built Python and Go services for real-time payment-risk evaluation across millions of global merchants, alongside React observability tools for live ML behavior.

I bring deep experience in React, TypeScript, Python, Go, retrieval systems, APIs, real-time processing, and enterprise AI security. I focus on making complex AI reasoning operationally useful through reliable interfaces, validation, auditability, and scalable infrastructure.
